It's All Over But the Shouting!

by Laura Calloway, Chair of ABA TECHSHOW 2009
That’s what we say down here in Alabama when the game is over but the fun goes on. Which is exactly where we are with ABA TECHSHOW 2008.
There is still a little more packing up and putting away to be done before we can finally put TECHSHOW 2008 to bed, including tabulating the results of all the evaluations and making note of all the good suggestions we received for ways to improve your ABA TECHSHOW experience next year. Final versions of all PowerPoint presentations have been collected, and attendees can expect to receive an email blast with the link to them by next week at the latest. Nevertheless, we’re already busy at work planning for ABA TECHSHOW 2009!
ABA TECHSHOW 2009 will take place April 2-4, 2009, once again at the Hilton Chicago, and Tom Mighell will be a tough act to follow! Fortunately, he has agreed to hang around a while longer and act as our director of interactive media for 2009, to make sure our attendees keep blogging, Flickring, and Twittering their way through the show. I am also fortunate to have an extremely capable planning board for next year’s show, and I’d like to take this opportunity to thank them publicly for agreeing to serve. Returning planning board members include Debbie Foster, who will be serving as vice-chair, Catherine Sanders Reach, Judge Herbert Dixon and Paul Unger. New board members for TECHSHOW 2009 are Reid Trautz, Dominic Jaar, Browning Marean and Ben Schorr.
Please mark your calendars for April 2-4 2009, sign up for the ABA TECHSHOW blog feed, visit our web site frequently, and plan NOW to join us next year in Chicago for the world’s premier legal technology continuing legal education conference and expo!
It's a Wrap!

by Tom Mighell, Chair of ABA TECHSHOW 2008
Well, it's over -- last week ABA TECHSHOW 2008 saw more than 2,000 attendees, 120 vendors, and 60+ legal technologists presenting more than 50 educational sessions, and from what I've heard so far a good time was had by all. Here are some of the highlights:
- Keynoter Marc Rotenberg gave a timely and well-received presentation on "The Anatomy of the Eliot Spitzer Investigation," then sat down with me for a lively discussion on privacy issues and how they affect us all.
- ABA TECHSHOW After Dark was a terrific success, with attendees, speakers, and exhibitors mingling together with food, drink, and the sounds of the Empty Can Band.
- We were honored to present Cowell Taradash, P.C., the founders of IllinoisDivorce.com, with the first annual Jim, I. Keane Award for Excellence in E-Lawyering, at a luncheon that was well attended by our conference registrants.
- Once again the Taste of ABA TECHSHOW Dinners on Friday night were the place to be, with over 130 of our attendees and faculty dining and discussing technology topics at restaurants around Chicago.
- As usual, the educational content reigned supreme. Every attendee that spoke to me mentioned the consistently high quality of our ABA TECHSHOW speakers.
If you're weren't able to attend, check out the ABA TECHSHOW Buzz, where you can still find blog postings and photos from the conference. We'll be keeping the Buzz going all year long, so that you can keep up on the latest that's going on with ABA TECHSHOW -- just subscribe to the feed!
It has been an honor and a privilege to serve as Chair of ABA TECHSHOW 2008, but now it's time to turn things over to the new team. I am pleased to announce that Laura Calloway, Director of the Alabama State Bar's Law Office Management Assistance Program, will serve a Chair of ABA TECSHOW 2009. You'll be hearing from her on the TECHSHOW Blog very soon!
