The Hospitality Law Conference

This one and a-half day conference, is an intimate, informative and intense educational conference where attendees participate in expert-led sessions and interactive discussions that explore the best practices and benchmark current policies across the hotel and restaurant industries.

The latest cases, trends, challenges and solutions relevant to the hospitality industry are up for exploration in TED Talk Style Presentations and Q&A/Deeper Dive Sessions.

Continuing Legal Education Credit:
HospitalityLawyer.com is collaborating with myLawCLE for this program.
MyLawCLE applies for CLE accreditation for all programs in every state, with the exception of live credits in Virginia. In Virginia, only self-study credits are sought. After the CLE program concludes, all participating attorneys and paralegals will receive a certificate of completion as proof of attendance. In states that require attendance tracking, myLawCLE records attendance directly. In all other states, participants are responsible for submitting the approved CLE certificate to their state bar or governing body.
