Fellows of the College of Community Association Lawyers (CCAL) and planning chairs of the seminar invites you to submit a session proposal for the 2024 Community Association Law Seminar, February 14-17, 2024, at the Aria Hotel in Las Vegas.
Timeline:
- Extended to July 15, 2023 - Submission deadline
- September 14, 2023 - Presentations will be confirmed
The more than 650 expected law seminar attendees; primarily community association lawyers, will be looking for cutting-edge education programs providing substantive, expert-level education sessions:
- Do you have a new way of tackling a common challenge?
- Is your practice taking a unique approach to a topical situation?
- Do you have forward-thinking perspectives on legal issues?
- Do you have a creative solution to new issues impacting the industry?
CAI's Annual Law Seminar provides a unique learning opportunity to discuss emerging trends and legal issues important to the practice of community association law—as well as excellent opportunities for professional networking.
Selection Process:
The Law Seminar Planning Committee selects presentations based on a variety of factors (listed below) with the ultimate goal of providing the highest quality sessions with representation from diverse backgrounds, perspectives, law firms, and geographic areas. The Committee strongly prefers:
- Experienced presenters
- Diverse and inclusive representation; including race, gender, sexual orientation, and more.
- A variety of law firms, geographic areas, and perspectives serving on a panel as opposed to a panel filled with attorneys from the same law firm.
- Maximum of three speakers per session.
