Interesting speakers. Very well done. I'll plan on returning next year.
Course was generally very informative and interesting. Certain of the presenters were not particularly polished, but all seemed knowledgeable in their practice area. Course leaned a bit toward municipal rather than private development practice and could have provided more content on the issues facing developers and their counsel--along the lines of "How to get what you want in negotiating with a municipality on behalf of your client"
I would prefer fewer government related development topics.
I love this course every year ! It is the best at well rounded topic presentations. I purchased the course last year and listened to it. I neglected to report my CLE so I listened to the conference again and learned more usable information.
