ELA’s Annual Conference provides a forum to discuss current education law issues with experts from around the world. The conference format stimulates dialogue among attorneys, professors, and practitioners and also provides for specific role groups to meet and share ideas and resources.

Attend several large group general sessions presented by a variety of top scholars, government officials, practitioners, and members of the judiciary, where we present awards and conduct the business of the organization. In addition, choose from the more than fifty sessions offered to gain the latest information and practical insight for furthering your successful career.
