Annual Conference transitions from on-site event to virtual.
Read below for all the details!

IMLA is disappointed to announce that the 2020 Annual Conference at the La Quinta Resort and Spa has been cancelled but is excited to announce that in place of our on-site event, we will be offering the Annual Conference virtually! The virtual conference will be a full virtual event with informative sessions and plenty of networking opportunities. IMLA is replicating our full conference through webinars in much the same manner as we have our other virtual events this year. We will still be offering CLE and all the great resources that our app provides, networking, materials, speaker information, etc. at a price that reflects our reduced costs in hosting an in person event.

Based on the continuing spread of the Coronavirus and the likelihood that a gathering of our size would be prohibited and in looking to the advice of CDC and the efforts, both national and within California, to control social distancing to minimize community spread of the virus, we determined that cancelling the on-site program offered the best result for our members, sponsors and hosts.

We are including a FAQ sheet to answer all your anticipated questions. We recommend taking a look at those answers to know exactly what we are doing about registrations, CLE, recordings, etc. If you have questions that are not answered by the FAQ please email info@imla.org and we will get you an answer as soon as we are able.

Please note the program is tentative and subject to change.
