NACBA25

NACBA25 Highlight!

Get Ready for the 25th Annual NACBA Convention!

Orlando, Florida May 4th-7th 2017!

nacba25

There are some aspects of #NACBA25 that won’t change for example, our stellar sessions, outstanding keynote speakers, and an awesome location. However, we like to keep it fresh here at NACBA!

So What’s New?

CIRCUIT MEETINGS: New this year, NACBA will host individual circuit meetings for sharing of ideas and the latest “round-up” of what is taking place in the circuit where you practice. Circuit meetings will be led by Members of the Bench and or NACBA Members from the designated areas.

ADVANCED TOPICS: The convention planning committee has scheduled 6 advanced topics to challenge and inform even the most seasoned bankruptcy practitioner.

SATURDAY SCHEDULE: Given the location and that many attendees may include family, the committee planned an abbreviated schedule on Saturday, May 6th so attendees could take in the Walt Disney World parks and surrounding Orlando area without missing valuable CLE seminars.

There’s no time like the present to Register for #NACBA25 and receive savings with the Early Bird Rate!

See you in Orlando!
