Get Smart on Marketing with Technology at ABA Techshow

Marketers will find a feast of programs on how to use technology to connect to new clients at the annual ABA Techshow 2008 coming up on March 13-15 in Chicago.  More than 1,500 people will convene at the Chicago Hilton.

There are 16 educational tracks including Advanced IT/Security, Client Relationships, E-Discovery, Going Green, Internet, Large Firm/Corporate Counsel, Litigation, Mac Track, Microsoft Office, Mobile Technology, Paperless Office, Records Management, Roundtables, Show Me How, Solo/Small Firm I and Solo/Small Firm II.

Among the programs that caught my eye were:

  • 60 Sites in 60 Minutes with speakers Tom Mighell, Reid Trautz and Craig Ball. This perennial favorite is always one of the best attended sessions. The panelists will review the hottest new websites for lawyers and legal professionals -- great web resources on legal technology, practice management, research, ethics, and they'll toss in some practical and fun stuff, too.

Larry, will you be back in town in time for the show, or will you still be in sunny Arizona?
