Mobile App: 

This conference will feature a mobile app. It will:

  • Hold your speaker profile. Please email us your photo if we don't already have it from a previous conference.
  • Host your handouts. Please email us your handouts, including Powerpoint slides, articles, or other items you would like to share.
  • Enable participants to build a schedule of sessions to attend – like yours!
  • Enable participants to rate and evaluate your session, and give you stellar reviews!
  • Enable participants to connect with you and your firm.

Session Recordings:  

Again this year, we will be recording the conference sessions. As a presenter, please:

  • Introduce yourself and your session so it is clear to those listening later.
  • Repeat questions into the microphone.
  • Let us know in advance if you have any questions about being recorded.
