Please join us for ACMA’s 2026 Annual Meeting in mid-September at the luxurious oceanfront Ritz-Carlton Bacara, Santa Barbara, located 20 minutes north of downtown Santa Barbara. This fabulous resort, fully renovated in 2025, is set along a dramatic bluff overlooking the ocean and offers, among other things, a 42,000 sq. ft. destination spa, three salt-water infinity pools, tennis courts, multiple top rate restaurants, a nature reserve with beach access and the Sandpiper golf course minutes away from the hotel.
Annual Meeting Highlights:
- Two mornings of terrific CLE presentations.
- A day-long Corporate Counsel Symposium (for in-house counsel and their invited non-Fellow lawyer guests).
- Meetings of the ACMA Board of Regents, ACMA Foundation Board of Directors, Regional Chairs, the Council of Committee Chairs, and various ACMA committees.
- The traditional golf tournament and pickleball event, and a variety of optional tours and activities.
- Invaluable opportunities for collegial networking at receptions and dinners, breaks between meetings and CLE sessions, over breakfast each morning, and while relaxing each afternoon.
The resort offers world-class conference facilities and exceptional hospitality in one of California’s most famous destinations. And, our timing is perfect! September is considered one of the best times to visit: warm clear days (no “June Gloom“) and the tail end of the wine harvest season.
Follow the navigational links on this website to get more information on the Annual Meeting and to register. I look forward to seeing you September 17-19 in “The American Riviera”!
