Updates:
JoAnna Forshee, CEO of InsideLegal, and Matt Homann of LexThink, are partnering again to produce Ignite Law 2011, to be held in Chicago Sunday, April 10, on the eve of this year's ABA TECHSHOW (April 11-13, 2011) and produced by the Law Practice Management section of the ABA. 2010's inaugural Ignite Law included 16 presentations covering a broad spectrum of law topics including advertising and ethics, information management, agile development, client service, and marketing. This year, to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the ABA TECHSHOW, Ignite Law will again assemble the brightest legal and legal technology minds and practitioners to muse about the future of legal technology delivered via six minute rapid fire presentations.
With a successful inaugural event under our belt, Matt and I anticipate fierce competition for the 12 presentation slots, especially since legal technology luminaries including Dennis Kennedy and Jim Calloway have expressed their desire to share and present their views. The submission process is open to all players in the legal community – consultants, media, vendors, law firms, and associations – and the topics submitted are then voted on by the community. While there's already a lot of buzz building for the second act, the official call for presentations - open to all via an online submission process - is now in the works and will be available at the Ignite Law website on Monday, February 28th.
Over the next 6 weeks, anyone interested in Ignite Law 2011 should stay connected with InsideLegal and the [non]billable hour blogs for updates. Thanks to ABA LPM's partnership, Ignite Law 2011 will be expanded to accommodate at least 250 attendees (vs. 150 last year). Among the pre-event content, we will publish all presentation submissions (including online voting) and profile various presenters as well as videos and coverage from the 2010 event.
