Join us on Sunday, May 3rd for an Azalea Garden Party hosted by Tom and Lily Grace Hudson. Transportation will be provided. Click here to view photos from our 2008 Azalea Party and Workshop.
The Azalea Garden Party will be followed by two days of housing and auto finance sessions on May 4th and 5th. The program content will be entirely legal. We will cover - in real depth - matters of interest to the housing finance and personal property finance communities. There will be no reporters or consumer advocates present, and regulators will appear only as speakers. Housing and auto sessions will be combined when topics apply across the board, but we will also have separate tracks where appropriate.
The 2009 Workshop will provide a guide for navigating today's challenging times. The panels will feature experienced attorneys who are among the best-suited to analyze changes in the legal and regulatory landscape, with practical perspectives offered by industry leaders.
We will request CLE credit and ICB Continuing Education Course Approval upon your request.
The registration fee is $545. The first registrant from your company pays full price. Additional registrants from the same company receive a discount of $100 per registrant. You may cancel your Workshop reservation at no charge through April 15th; a $100 cancellation fee applies after April 15th.
