I am quite pleased to have widespread participation for the
upcoming conference on contracts to be held at St. Thomas University in Miami
Lakes, Florida. Registration is open on the conference website at www.contractsconference.com. All
conference participants, speakers and moderators are required to register for
the conference to help defer the costs of meals, shuttles and the like.
Please be aware that the group rate for the hotels must be
reserved by January 14, 2014. Hotels in South Florida in February can be
pricey, but the conference rate is quite good, so you’ll want to make sure that
you reserve early. The conference hotels are Shula's Hotel and Golf Club and
the Newport Beachside Resort. There is also a deal for rental cars through
enterprise if you are interested. Information on hotel reservation is available
on the conference website under the hotels tab. While the conference shuttle is
running from Shula’s to the law school, I will look into running a second
shuttle to the Newport Beachside resort if there were a substantial number of
conference participants staying there. The Newport is a little further from the
law school, but as the name connotes, is on the beach.
I look forward to seeing you all in February and will be
sending additional information about panels and scheduling out in the near
future. If you are not presenting and just want a good conference to attend,
the contracts conference has much to offer in terms of topics that will be
discussed. I will be posting the program to the list in the near future
to give any of you who are on the fence about attending even more incentive.
