Registration FAQs

How to Set Up Your Member Portal Account:

Everyone has to do this their first time logging into our new system.

Everyone will have their own account, whether attorney, administration, paralegal, etc. You should not be logging in as another person to register yourself or other people. Everything can be done from your own personal account.

1. Go to our Welcome Page.
2. Click “Sign Up”.
3. Make sure you are on the “Set Up an Account” tab. Enter your email address IMLA has on file, set a password, and enter your first and last name.
4. On the next screen, you should be able to type your full name in. Once you have done so, the system will search our records for any matches. If you had a MyIMLA account before we switched over to the new system, your record should pop up, and you should be able to link your old information to your newly set up account.
5. Your account should be set up!

Omni Shoreham Hotel – Washington, D.C.

(202) 234-0700

IMLA has secured a block of sleeping rooms and a special room rate at the Omni Shoreham Hotel, a first class facility, in Washington, D.C.

In order to secure this block of specially priced sleeping rooms and to keep meeting costs to a minimum, IMLA has entered into a total meeting package and contract with the Omni Shoreham Hotel. If you choose to make your sleeping room reservations outside the IMLA group block, such as through an Internet reservation system or with a discount coupon, we need to advise you that IMLA can suffer significant financial penalties. IMLA can be held financially responsible for the attrition or difference between what was promised in the group block and what was actually utilized.

To allow IMLA to continue to provide a reasonable conference registration fee, we need your help in limiting our financial exposure. Please take advantage of the special room rate and block of sleeping rooms we have negotiated and make your reservation.

If you have any questions, please contact us.

The hotel is sold out on Thursday, April 24th.
