ELA SHOUT-OUT VIDEOS!

2022 ELA Virtual Annual Conference

Oct 27-28, 2022

Description

It was lovely to have the opportunity to see so many ELA members in person in May of this year in San Francisco!  We hope that you enjoyed the networking time and informative panels.  Now it is time for our official 2022 ELA Annual Conference! Each year, in accordance with our by-laws, the ELA meets with its members in Q3 to review and celebrate the accomplishments of the prior year and outline our planned endeavors for the upcoming year.  At this conference you will hear important ELA announcements and updates from our ELA leaders who will report out on the progress we have made across all projects.  You will also have an opportunity to vote on important leadership changes and offer for your input on upcoming activities in 2023 and beyond.


All lawyers and marketers from our ELA member firms are welcome to attend.  In addition to our global meetings each day, we will also have more targeted regional meetings, where many decisions will be made about networking activities, business development and member engagement within your region in the coming years. 


Finally, the ELA board will announce the location and dates for our 2023 ELA Annual Global Membership Conference in Europe!


We look forward to seeing you at this event!
