For the last several years a group of AILA lawyers who practice in healthcare have gotten together for a dinner on the Thursday of AILA Annual week. Last year we had about 20 of us and it was great to catch up with old friends (and new ones!). It is a laid-back casual event.
If you are an AILA attorney who is interested in attending this year’s dinner, please let me know how many will be attending from your group by May 25. Friends, spouses, etc. are also welcome.
