We’d also like to give a special thanks to the 2018 Annual Conference Planning Committee for all the work they did to make National Harbor such a huge success! View the entire photo collection.

 

A big thank-you to the more than 950 attendees and more than 162 exhibiting companies representing nearly 200 booths at the 2018 Annual Conference & Expo in National Harbor, Maryland. We hope you walked away with plenty of inspiration, new connections and cutting-edge solutions that you can put into practice right now at your law office.
