66th
Annual Institute
Join us this summer in Salt Lake City for our 66th Annual Institute – it’s been 56 years since we last held an annual institute in
Salt Lake City and times have changed. The city is abuzz with restaurants, bars, family activities, and energy! Easy and relatively
inexpensive direct flights from more than 100 cities on 10 airlines make travel a breeze. Hotel rooms can be booked for as little as
$166/night. Learn and network while your family enjoys all Salt Lake has to offer (see inside).
The Institute this year features 59 speakers from academia, industry, private practice, government,
landmen and other organizations. It opens with a General Session on Thursday morning, followed
by separate sections on Oil & Gas, Mining, Public Lands, Environmental Law, International Law,
Water Law, Landman’s Issues, and Corporate Counsel Issues. Our sponsored reception for
everyone will be on Thursday night at the Grand America, our conference headquarters.
Bring the little ones for fun food and kid activities. On Friday evening, we will have a
reception for Young Professionals, their significant others, and their children at The
Leonardo Museum of Creativity and Innovation. Significant others and children
are free. Also on Friday evening after the Corporate Counsel Section, we will
hold a free reception for in-house counsel, in-house landmen, and their
families. Now is the time to register and book your hotel room and take
advantage of the Foundation’s discounted rates at the five-star Grand
America Hotel, or for the more value-conscious, Little America
right across the street has a charm all its own. Please contact
us at info@rmmlf.org if you have any questions or run into any
problems reserving a room.
See you in July!
