Conference Feedback
From program evaluations

“ . . .overall a step above and ahead of the myriad of other law conferences out there . . .

". . .intimate environment . . . easy to connect with colleagues . . . great networking..."

"...very interesting to hear about future trends and how to help our firms get on the cutting edge..."

"It's still the most strictly focused programming available on law firm revenue generation issues, and the quality of the delegates is excellent."

"This was by far the best professional development event I have ever attended."

"The speakers...they were really informative, realistic and gave us ideas that could be easily translated into steps to move process forward."

"That was one hell of a conference. It was light years ahead of anything I've seen... both in content and in the level of attendees. "
     - Bruce W. Marcus,
       The Marcus Letter

"With so few events in the market that successfully meld trends from both the marketing and sales-oriented worlds, specifically tailored for the legal community, this event stands out from many of the others organized each
year. It really is a new area for law firm culture and the emerging business development departments, and one that I expect will gather pace in the years to come."
     - Despina Kartson,
       Chief Marketing Officer
       Latham & Watkins LLP
