On November 10, 2014 at the American University Washington College of Law, Avialex Law Group's John T. Van Geffen and Michael L. Dworkin presented at a conference aimed at addressing the legal and organizational aspects of dealing with aircraft mishaps and disasters—not only finding causation, but how organizations should prepare for and respond to them.

Michael and John presented the following, respectfully, 'Providing Legal Representation to the Operator after an Aircraft Mishap' and 'Nuts and Bolts of Preparing Emergency Response Plan'.

The conference was aimed at air carriers; air agencies; manufacturers; aircraft owners and operators; airport proprietors; aircraft insurers; attorneys representing aviation concerns; and plaintiffs' attorneys.

Five (5) hours of CLE Credits were available for a $275 registration fee. Otherwise, the event was free to attend.
