Joorney at the 2026 AILA Annual Conference and Webcast on Immigration Law
There’s no better way to stay at the forefront of immigration law than by attending the events that bring the entire profession together. The 2026 AILA Annual Conference and Webcast on Immigration Law takes place June 17–20 in San Diego, California, and the Joorney team will be there.
The AILA Annual Conference is the flagship event of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, drawing thousands of immigration attorneys and legal professionals from across the country and around the world. Held across two premier venues — the Marriott Marquis San Diego and the Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego — the conference offers an unmatched program of legal education, professional development, and peer networking. It is widely regarded as the most comprehensive gathering in the immigration law calendar, covering the full spectrum of immigration practice areas and the latest developments shaping the field.
Joorney is proud to attend as a Bronze Sponsor this year. Representing the company will be Gerald Padilla and Joshua Wallace, both Vice Presidents of Sales. Gerald and Joshua bring deep expertise in immigration business plans and a genuine commitment to helping immigration attorneys serve their clients more effectively — whether that involves E-2, EB-5, EB-2 NIW, or other visa-related business documentation.
If you’ll be at the conference, we’d love to connect. Reach out to Gerald and Joshua directly to schedule time for a conversation, or stop by to learn more about how Joorney supports immigration professionals with business plans, case preparation, and advisory services.
We look forward to seeing you in San Diego.
