Greetings from Idaho!
In October 2026, Idaho will host the 43rd Annual Central Panel Directors Conference (CPDC), an annual nationwide gathering of Chief Administrative Law Judges and other key personnel from the 30+ central panel agencies around the country. The CPDC is a three-day training conference providing educational programming and collaboration between the nation’s central panel agencies, featuring speakers and programs focused on improving administrative contested case processes, ensuring due process for participants in contested cases, improving the quality of service by administrative law judges, and confer on matters of common interest to all central panel agencies, both as to administrative law developments and day-to-day operations of central panel agencies.
The conference will be held in Coeur d’Alene in October 2026. Save-the-date reminders have been sent via email and physical mail. A tentative agenda will be released in early spring, with a final agenda issued in late summer.
Central panel agencies with any questions regarding the conference are encouraged to contact OAH at general@oah.idaho.gov or otherwise at its main line at 208-605-4300.
