On behalf of The Iowa State Bar Association (ISBA), I invite you to join us for the 2026 ISBA Annual Meeting, June 22–25 at Prairie Meadows Events & Conference Center.
As Iowa’s largest legal conference, the Annual Meeting is where attorneys, judges, legal professionals, and law students from across the state come together to learn, connect, and strengthen the relationships that support our profession. In an era when so much of our work takes place through emails and virtual meetings, opportunities to gather face-to-face with colleagues from every corner of Iowa are increasingly rare. The Annual Meeting remains one of the most valuable opportunities of the year to reconnect with peers, expand your professional network, and engage with Iowa’s legal community.
The four-day conference features an extensive CLE program with educational tracks covering litigation, business law, family law, probate, solo and small firm practice, rural practice, law practice management, and many other areas. Whether you are looking to sharpen your skills, stay current on emerging issues, or fulfill your CLE requirements, the Annual Meeting offers practical and timely programming tailored to a wide range of practice areas and experience levels.
Equally important are the opportunities to connect outside the classroom. The Annual Meeting includes receptions, luncheons, and networking events designed to bring the legal community together. The Iowa Judges Association will once again hold its meeting in conjunction with the Annual Meeting, bringing more than 200 judges to Prairie Meadows. Few events offer the chance to interact so extensively with members of the judiciary and fellow practitioners throughout several days of programming and social events.
Whether you attend for one day or all four, the 2026 ISBA Annual Meeting offers an unmatched opportunity to earn CLE credit, build meaningful professional relationships, and be part of the largest gathering of Iowa’s legal community. I encourage you to register today and join us in Altoona next week.
With regards,
Harry Shipley
ISBA Executive Director
