Attendees had the opportunity to earn up to a year's worth of Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credits over the three-day conference. The meeting also offered more than 30 hours of networking events and an expo hall featuring over 100 law firms and legal service providers, facilitating connections and showcasing the latest industry solutions.
