CAALA Vegas 2026, the Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles’ 44th Annual Conference, is scheduled for September 3-6, 2026, at Fontainebleau Las Vegas. The association organizes the conference for plaintiff attorneys, law firm employees, judges and justices, legal-services companies, and CAALA law-student members. Registration is professional rather than general-public admission: the organizer identifies attorneys, law firm staff, jurists, and eligible law students as the participating groups. CAALA describes the gathering as serving more than 4,000 participants and offering up to 17 hours of Minimum Continuing Legal Education credit.

Event overview

The four-day schedule combines continuing legal education, trial-skills instruction, practice-area sessions, legal-staff programming, an exhibit hall, association functions, and social events. Published 2026 tracks address personal injury, employment, consumer protection, sexual-abuse litigation, traumatic brain injury, damages, liens, artificial intelligence in legal practice, case preparation, and courtroom advocacy. Formats include panels, demonstrations, moderated discussions, judicial perspectives, and sessions developed specifically for legal-support professionals. The final program also includes an opening session and a closing master panel.

The Royal Ballroom exhibit hall is scheduled to operate Thursday afternoon, throughout Friday, and Saturday morning. Exhibitors include litigation-support firms, medical and expert-service providers, legal technology companies, insurance and financial-service organizations, and other businesses serving trial-law practices. The conference schedule places education, exhibits, and professional networking within the same registration framework, although individual registration categories and guest access rules differ. The organizer’s published registration policy states that exhibit-hall guest passes are not available and that guests and children may not enter the exhibit area.

CAALA’s program extends beyond classroom sessions. The official schedule includes a Thursday welcome reception, a Saturday closing function, and a Sunday farewell breakfast, along with selected wellness and association activities. These functions support professional contact among attorneys, judges, staff members, speakers, exhibitors, and association leadership. Registration fees vary by membership status, years admitted to the bar, employment category, and registration date. Current sitting judges and justices have a separate fee category, while law-student registration is limited to CAALA members.

History in Las Vegas

The 2026 meeting is identified by CAALA as its 44th annual Las Vegas conference. Network.Vegas records document the 43rd annual convention at Wynn Las Vegas from August 28 through September 1, 2025. The move to Fontainebleau in 2026 changes the host property while continuing the association’s Labor Day-period Las Vegas meeting. Available official materials establish the current edition number and the immediately preceding local event; they do not by themselves document every venue used across the full series.

Location

Fontainebleau Las Vegas is located at 2777 South Las Vegas Boulevard, near the Las Vegas Convention Center area. Its conference facilities include the pillarless Royal Ballroom, where CAALA schedules the exhibit hall, along with Lazuli and Cobalt ballrooms and multiple groups of breakout rooms. The official CAALA program assigns sessions across Royal, Lazuli, Indigo, and other named meeting spaces, while receptions use Cobalt Ballroom and another on-property venue. Keeping education, exhibits, registration, and most scheduled functions within the resort’s conference complex reduces off-site transfers during the multi-track program. Participants should use CAALA’s final agenda for room assignments and access rules.

CAALA Vegas functions as the association’s main annual setting for legal education, trial-practice discussion, vendor contact, professional networking, and organizational activity.
