Regional Meetings


 

The IADC Regional Meetings offer a perfect opportunity for you to get together with IADC members in your area to network and discuss critical local issues. The meetings are free to members and their guests. Some Regional Meeting Local Chairs have applied for CLE credit for their programs. Those Regional Meetings will indicate CLE certification.
 
Regional Meetings are organized by local IADC member chairs. Local IADC companies and firms sponsor the meetings and the receptions that follow. The meetings are interesting, informative, convenient and fun.

For questions or firm co-sponsoring opportunities, please contact amiller@iadclaw.org.
