Deep Dives

To meet the demand for higher-level content, ALA is pleased to offer “deep dive” sessions at #ALAConf20. Intended for more experienced attendees, Deep Dives are cohesive and interactive sessions that allow for a more focused, in-depth exploration of a subject than is possible in regular sessions.

First Five Live!

The First Five Community is a forum for legal management professionals in the first five-ish years of their career. Conceived in 2018, it is a judgment-free zone that enables professionals who are new to the legal industry or new to managing to become seasoned, well-rounded leaders in this field. First Five Live! is an in-person opportunity to advance your skill set in a collaborative, supportive environment. Come prepared to talk freely and have frank, open discussions for maximum value!

Meet-Ups

The connections you make and the relationships you nurture while at Annual Conference are as important as the content and educational sessions. Yet we understand that large-scale conferences can be overwhelming — even daunting — if you are attending alone.

#ALAConf20 Meet-Ups allow you to enjoy the benefits of networking in a smaller group setting. With a combination of small-group gatherings around specific topics and local fun activities that allow you to get a taste of Salt Lake City, they’ll help you to get the most out of your time at the conference!
