The Forum invites you to spend time learning new skills and perfecting old ones during the 2011 Annual Meeting in a setting that rivals paradise - The Fairmont Scottsdale Princess - a lush oasis in the desert. A spectacular program, “I Can See for Miles: Cutting  Edge  Tools for the Construction  Practitioner,” awaits  you. Whether your construction practice is litigation or transactional, this Program will help you hone your skills with advanced legal tools presented by an out- standing line-up of speakers drawn from the legal profession, the judiciary, and the construction industry.

Your legal toolbox will overflow with the latest and greatest tools of our trade that you will pick up from this two-and-a-half day Program. Plenary sessions and workshops will equip you with the cutting edge tools you need to handle ubiquitous electronic discovery  issues from inside the courtroom and on the job site, develop drafting skills that protect your client's privileges, negotiate, draft and administer  litigation consultant  contracts,  advise clients  venturing into electronic project management,  understand  and utilize effective  tools  and techniques for selecting juries, present evidence whether on a flip-chart or with electronic and digital bells and whistles, create and maintain a solid diversity program in your practice, and address ethical issues that face the bench and bar in the age of social media.

If such an incredible program is not enticing enough, there is more! You will not want to leave this  fabulous southwestern  venue,  which offers  so much to see…for miles, and miles, and miles! The Program's schedule allows attendees, families, and guests time to experience the Valley of the Sun—an eclectic mix of art galleries, museums, desert gardens, specialty retail and fine dining comple- ment this top tier golf destination. Experience a jeep tour through the scenic desert, take in a baseball game at the Arizona Diamondback's stadium, explore Sedona and the Grand Canyon, or simply relax at the award-winning world-class Willow Stream Spa. You will also have an opportunity to “give back” to our host community by participating in a trail restoration service project at Scottsdale's McDowell Sonoran Preserve, the largest urban preserve in the country that is home to stunning geological formations, lush cacti forests and diverse wildlife.

We are excited about sharing with you another memorable Forum experience at the fabulous Fairmont Scottsdale Princess. Please join us at this ultimate desert resort for advance construction CLE, superior industry networking, and fabulous activities.
