Winter Conference 2026

by Real Property Law Section

The Real Property Law Section is pleased to announce that the 2026 Winter Conference will be held at the W South Beach, Miami. Situated on shores of white sand and crystal blue waters, the W South Beach is steps away from Miami's endlessly entertaining melting pot. Explore renowned art galleries, museums, parks, nightlife, and an impressive culinary scene. Stroll the pristine beach while taking in the sunset views. There is something for everyone.

The 2026 RPLS Winter Conference will feature speakers from across Michigan, along with local Florida counsel, who will share timely and practical insights on today’s real estate landscape. The program will include an engaging discussion on Michigan real estate litigation updates, commercial leasing challenges, affordable housing and MSHDA initiatives, and emerging issues for title professionals. Attendees will also hear a legislative update and gain a local perspective from Florida practitioners on post-Surfside developments, insurance reform, and how those changes may influence Michigan practice in the years ahead.

This year’s conference promises to deliver an informative and engaging program designed for all Section members. Attendees will gain practical knowledge and enjoy the opportunity to network with colleagues in one of the country’s most dynamic and inspiring destinations. We welcome practitioners of all experience levels and look forward to seeing you in Miami!
