2026 TLA Annual Conference & CTLA Midyear Meeting
April 29 – May 2, 2026
Omni Amelia Island Resort
The Transportation Lawyers Association invites you to rendezvous at the 2026 Annual Conference and CTLA Midyear Meeting, April 29–May 2, 2026, at the luxurious Omni Amelia Island Resort in Florida.
This year’s theme—Bond… James Bond—sets the tone for a conference filled with sharp thinking, smooth networking, and just the right hint of intrigue. Expect top‑tier continuing legal education, opportunities to connect with operatives… ahem, colleagues… from across the transportation law community, and the kind of coastal views that could distract even the most disciplined agent. Amelia Island’s pristine beaches provide the perfect cover for a few days of learning, collaboration, and mission‑critical conversations.
Program Co-Chairs, Alex Karcher and Emileigh Hubbard, guided by Faculty Advisor Jeff Simmons, have assembled a classified‑level program of educational sessions, strategic networking events, and memorable social gatherings designed to sharpen your skills, strengthen alliances, and keep you one step ahead in a rapidly shifting industry landscape.
Pack your latest gadgets courtesy of Q branch, ready your briefing notes, and prepare for a professional mission set against an unforgettable backdrop.
Pre-registration for the 2026 Annual Meeting is now closed.
If you still need to register, please email info@jointla.org for assistance or plan to register on-site beginning at 12:00 PM on Wednesday, April 29.
