The American Bar Association’s only standalone law marketing conference happens just once every two years, and it is less than two weeks away.

For a few hundred dollars and less than two days of your time, bring back to your law firm the latest in business development tools and information-on social media, measuring return on investment, lawyer rankings, ethics, use of video, business development training and many more topics.

The conference at the Four Seasons Hotel in Philadelphia includes five networking meal functions–two breakfasts, two lunches and a cocktail reception.

If your law firm is not yet sending people to the ABA’s New Partner and In-House Counsel Conference in Philadelphia on February 25-26, you are missing out on one of the premier business development opportunities that will come your way.

Besides a ridiculously low registration cost for a two-day conference at the Four Seasons Hotel ($385 before February 1), there are two tracks-one for new partners and another for new in-house counsel. The networking opportunities, including dinners and receptions, afford a chance to mingle with many major in-house corporate attorneys that are looking to work with firms like yours each and every day.

This is designed as an intimate conference that allows for a lot of interaction among people in positions to give out work and refer work to others. Consider forwarding this information to your firm’s newest partners and professional development staff. They will find that it is a low-cost, high impact, CLE opportunity.
