The LWI Conference Site Evaluation Committee and the LWI Board of Directors are pleased to announce that 2012 LWI Biennial Conference will take place at the JW Marriott Resort & Spa in Desert Springs, California, from May 29 to June 1, 2012.

Conference Information:
The LWI Board of Directors has selected the Marco Island Marriott
Beach Resort for the site of the 2010 Biennial Conference and appointed
the Conference Site Committee to begin planning the conference. The
Resort is located on three miles of pristine Southwest Florida beaches.
With over 225,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor function space, a
full-service event planning staff, several renowned restaurants,
championship golf, a world-class spa, and a wide range of activities and
amenities, the Resort seemed like an ideal setting for the first LWI
Conference to be held at a non-campus site. The impressive meeting
space, beach location, and affordable accommodations should entice
members to not only attend the 2010 Conference but also to combine it
with a family vacation, especially since the LWI special rates have been
extended to before and after the conference dates. For more information
about the Resort, please visit the resort's website: www.marcoislandmarriott.com
The conference website is now open! Go to http://indylaw.indiana.edu/LWIconference/.
