ALA Region 3 Conference & Expo.

October 15-16, 2010
The Drake Hotel
Chicago, IL

Dear ALA Member,

Picture Frank Sinatra crooning “My Kind of Town … Chicago Is.” Now, picture yourself in Chicago in October, in the midst of “My Kind of Connection … ALA Is” at the Region 3 Conference & Expo. What better way or place to network with colleagues and business partners, deepen your legal management knowledge and explore new resources?

With its world-class status, Chicago is a cosmopolitan city with a diverse multi-national community and a thriving center of international trade and commerce. Located on the shores of Lake Michigan in the heart of the Midwest, Chicago is home to renowned architecture, museums, theater and world-championship sports teams. And nothing beats a crisp October day in Chicago as the landscape explodes in fall colors.

We are excited to present motivational speaker and business consultant Mary Jo Paloranta for our Keynote Address. Mary Jo’s humorous wisdom, experience and endless enthusiasm will inspire you to focus on your success, and the power you have to create what you want for your personal and professional life.

Our 20 educational sessions will offer timely insights and in-depth expertise to expand your legal management knowledge, help your personal growth, and better prepare you to meet the demands of your law firm or department. These core legal management skills and topics offer valuable information and insights that you and your Managing Partner will find worthwhile.

The Exhibit Hall will be thriving with 70 business service providers, ready and willing to share the latest cutting-edge legal products and services for you to do your job better, faster and more efficiently. An integral part of the Region 3 Conference & Expo, our valued business partners will provide information and education about the latest production and administration software, law office management services, equipment, technology and more — all in one place, saving you time and money.

Please join us for the Thursday evening Welcome Reception in the Drake Hotel’s historic Palm Court as we renew old acquaintances and make new friends. It’s a great opportunity to network with colleagues and business partners, enjoy the setting and kick off the conference with class. On Friday evening, following the ENCORE! Reception in the Expo Hall, you will have time to explore the sights, sounds and tastes of Chicago.

Online registration is now open!
