NEW LOCATION
Join us for IADC's 55th Annual Meeting for members. We're trying out a new meeting location this year: The Limelight Hotel. It's on the edge of downtown Ketchum within walking distance to the many wonderful restaurants. The hotel features beautifully-designed modern guest rooms; a giant patio area with a mountain view, fire pits, a pool and hot tub; and an expansive lobby, with food and beverage service, that's perfect for gathering with colleagues to share some legal fish stories and laughs! Breakfast in the lobby each morning is included with your stay.
