This two-day event brought together approximately 250 immigration law professionals, providing a robust platform for networking and knowledge exchange.

The conference featured three tracks of legal education, covering topics such as asylum and humanitarian issues, family and removal matters, and business immigration.

Attendees had opportunities to engage in keynote speeches, panel discussions, and informal conversations, facilitating dynamic exchanges of ideas and best practices. The event also included an awards reception, enhancing the collaborative atmosphere among practitioners.
