KCON XII Keynote Event: O'Melveny on the LaGuardia Project - Register and Book for February 24-25, 2017
Our friends at Southwestern Law School are ramping up the next edition of this blog's favorite conference, The 12th Annual International Conference on Contracts, better known as KCON XII, to be held on February 24-25, 2017 at the Art Deco Landmark in Los Angeles.
Already on the schedule for this year's conference are two keynote presentations. The first event will be on Friday, February 24, when O'Melveny & Myers LLP will give a panel presentation entitled, Drafting Complex Contracts: Behind the Scenes of the LaGuardia Project. The high-stakes legal issues involved should make for an intriguing and instructive tale of contract law:
O’Melveny represented the LaGuardia Gateway Partners consortium in its winning bid to assume operational control of New York LaGuardia Airport’s central terminal building and to build, finance, operate, and maintain a replacement terminal. O’Melveny represented LGP throughout the two-and-a-half year bidding process for the project, as well as during the exclusive negotiation period to consummate the transaction that followed. The US$4 billion project is the largest public-private partnership to be undertaken anywhere in the world.
Booking your hotel early at the Omni Los Angeles Hotel at California Plaza is especially important to ensure that you have incredible accommodations at a discounted rate in the conference block of rooms.
In addition to the special hotel deals, conference registration is also now open for business. If you register for KCON XII now, you can get the early-bird rate of $250 for conference registration.
Stay tuned for more KCON XII information in the coming days, including information on another keynote event, as well as the opportunities for you to submit a proposal for presentation or panel.
