We are applying for 7 general CLE credits, and 1 ethics CLE credit.
This conference is special for two reasons. The size of the group is intimate in comparison to intellectual property law conferences held in large metropolitan areas by large sponsoring organizations. We expect attendance of about 80 attorneys from Oregon and around the Northwest. The location of the conference at Salishan on the beautiful Oregon coast is difficult to match. Salishan is a first class, nationally acclaimed resort. Although Salishan is relatively small in comparison to many conference sites, its charm and rustic elegance are unsurpassed.
Please contact the Salishan Resort at (541) 764-3600 to book a room and mention “OPLA” to get a group discount.
