2016 marks the 40th anniversary of the ABA Forum on Construction
Law and we welcome you to Nashville, TN — Music City USA, to celebrate this
milestone! The festive, growing city of Nashville, home to the Grand Ole Opry
and the Country Music Hall of Fame, is the perfect place to mark this
incredible occasion.
Throughout the past 40 years, the Forum has prided itself on
building the best construction lawyers in the industry. This has been achieved
by providing outstanding seminars, excellent books and periodicals and cutting-edge
leadership on legal issues affecting the construction industry. We can think of
no better way to commemorate the Forum’s 40th anniversary than by highlighting
its wealth of knowledge and rich history.
Since we are in the Music City, we assembled a program of the
Forum’s “Greatest Hits.” The meeting will welcome back many of our
most popular past programs and presenters to reprise their presentations with
new and interesting updates. These include the Ethics of Social Media, Risk
Management and Insurance Coverage Issues, Payment-Related Provisions, the
Inside/Outside Counsel Relationship, an Analysis of the AIA A201 General
Conditions and Defective Work, Effective Litigation.
We also added some “bonus tracks” — programs that have not yet
been seen before, but that honor the top-notch programming for which the Forum
is known. The program will kick off with a session examining the development of
construction law over the past 40 years from some of the Forum’s leaders who
have been a part of its evolution.
Of course, no trip to Nashville is complete without music. To that
end, we have planned a Thursday night “block party” that is sure to be a crowd
pleaser. We also hope you join us for a Friday afternoon tour of the Country
Music Hall of Fame, and that you will take the opportunity to enjoy Nashville’s
wealth of live music venues.
The 2016 Annual Meeting presents a unique opportunity to travel
down memory lane with the best of the Forum’s past programs and presenters. We
look forward to seeing you in Nashville!
