9:00-10:00    You're Doing It All Wrong *

        Conrad Saam, President, Mockingbird

Lawyers frequently work really hard…. on the wrong things.  During this session we reveal many ways in which lawyers waste time and money chasing the latest technical shiny object while ignoring tried and true (and frequently cheap) marketing tactics. This session is focused on the DIYer or the lawyer responsible for actively managing a law firm’s growth.
