There’s an old Jimmy Buffet tune that expresses well my feelings about ABA TECHSHOW 2009.  “I’m sorry it’s ending, it’s sad but it’s true.  It’s been a lovely cruise.”

As I wait for my flight home to Alabama, my mind runs back over all the great events of the last few days.  I had intended to post to this blog during the show, but there was just too much to see and do to stop to write about it all.  

ABA TECHSHOW is truly a collaborative effort.  I’ve received lots of kind messages about the success of this year’s show, but I can’t take credit for it.  It’s the result of all of the hard work that the great planning board of ABA TECHSHOW 2009 has put in over the last year, and the contributions made by all of our fantastic speakers.  ABA TECHSHOW really is the legal technology conference by lawyers for lawyers.

If ABA TECHSHOW is about anything, though, it’s about the enduring friendships you develop when you attend.  I’ve built so many great friendships at TECHSHOW over the last 12 years.

So as my year as Chair winds down to a close, and I sail off into the sunset with the other past chairs, I’d like to say a final thank you to the LPM Staff, Shelby Meyer, the TECHSHOW 2009 board and all the fine speakers who donated their time to make ABA TECHSHOW 2009 a huge success.  Great job, everyone!  Now, mark your calendars for ABA TECHSHOW 2010 March 25-27, and I hope to see you all again next year!
