42nd Annual Real Estate Symposium: Understanding the Past, Preparing for the Future
Co-sponsored by the Real Estate Section of the Colorado Bar Association

A 42-Year Tradition of Excellence . . .
The 42nd Annual Real Estate Symposium promises to continue the tradition as the premier continuing legal education event in Colorado for real estate practitioners. This year the Symposium will combine outstanding presentations by the state's most knowledgeable practitioners with social events designed to provide the opportunity to mingle with colleagues of the real estate community. The Symposium is excited to return to one of Colorado's most beautiful locations - Vail! The Hythe Vail guarantees outstanding lodging accommodations with spacious and comfortable meeting facilities. Be sure to take advantage of the great room rates which the Symposium has procured to make this educational experience into an enjoyable mini-vacation. Thanks to our partnership with our Sponsors, the Symposium is a tremendous value.

Work and Play with the Best of the Colorado Real Estate Bar
It continues to be the goal of the Symposium to reinforce the collegiality of the real estate community while providing timely topics for the real estate law practitioner and other real estate professionals. This year's faculty will provide insight on such timely issues as AI in law practice, affordable housing developments, the Corporate Transparency Act and more, along with our regular case law and legislative updates.

We learn from each other, we develop a lifetime supply of contacts, and have a great time at social functions. All in beautiful Vail! We hope to see all of the familiar faces, and many new ones too. Join us in Vail for a delightful and stimulating weekend!
