A landowner may only face one takings case in their life, but those of us in right of way deal with challenging and changing areas of the law every day. The more difficult the acquisition process becomes, the more training right of way professionals require in order to perform effectively. This is why we are proud to announce this year’s Right of Way Symposium for Condemning Authorities, a forum designed for right-of-way professionals and presented by right of way professionals, providing insights and tools to help navigate the intricacies of what we do in the right-of-way industry.

At $249, admission is reasonably priced; however, attendance is only open to those who principally serve condemning authorities.  And the price of admission includes lunch, a reception the evening before the Symposium, and all materials in electronic form.
