The Value of Attending an Annual Conference

(from Annual Conference attendees)

  • My practice is pretty narrow , but I was able to find a lot of material of interest and benefit.

  • Programming was current and extremely relevant to my practice.

  • The presenters were great and the technology/platform used for the virtual conference was good, sound was good. Excellent overall.

  • IMLA is the one organization that keeps me abreast of what is happening around the country and may be headed my way. It is because of IMLA that I am able to, at times, be proactive rather than just reactive.

  • Every presenter/speaker I watched was engaged and knowledgeable. They put in solid preparation work, and it showed.

  • Outstanding work coordinating the presentations and speakers from across the US, Europe, and North America.

  • This was my first IMLA Conference and I was impressed by the variety and quality of the session offerings. It was also really exciting to meet other municipal attorneys from across the country.
