The 2023 NAFUSA Conference

Planning for the 2023 NAFUSA Conference is well underway. This year’s conference will be held at the Ritz Carlton in beautiful Half Moon Bay, California, approximately 25 miles south of San Francisco, on March 29-31. Conference registration for members and guests will open around mid-January. The conference will begin, as has been the tradition, with an opening cocktail and dinner reception on Wednesday night, generously sponsored again this year by Guidepost Solutions.

As a preview to some of the planned presentations on the 2023 Conference program, we are in the process of confirming appearances by Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, DEA Administrator Anne Milgram, and several other DOJ officials. The program will include many interesting and timely presentations including a panel of experts on the history of domestic terrorism, reports from EOUSA and the AGAC on current issues within the DOJ, and a discussion of recent cases of note by Supreme Court expert Kannon Shanmugam. New York Times Best Selling author and legal analyst Lis Wiehl will talk about her recent book. Other speakers include Chief Compliance Officers and Ethics Officers from major corporations, as well as an attorney from the DOJ Fraud Section’s Corporate Enforcement, Compliance and Policy Unit, to discuss emerging trends in corporate compliance.

Administrative and Registration details

NAFUSA members should receive an email in mid-January with more detailed 2023 conference information. There will be a link to registration materials for the conference and information about booking hotel rooms, including an option for booking a room at a block rate reserved for NAFUSA conference attendees at the Ritz Carlton in Half Moon Bay, the conference site. Members who plan to attend should strongly consider registering and booking early to assure a room. Members are also reminded to include in their registration a current email where they wish to receive conference materials including CLE materials and attendee information. Conference materials will be sent electronically. Because of sharply increased conference costs and NAFUSA’s continued commitment to providing top quality programs and amenities at desirable locations, for the first time since the organization was established in the 1970’s the conference fee for members will increase to $575. However, the rate for senior members (over age 70 and no longer practicing law) will remain at $400 and the rate for spouses will remain at $300.
