It’s Day Two of the Legal Marketing Association’s annual conference. After a full day yesterday, today brings another day of content that will send legal marketers back to their firms recharged, inspired, and ready to go “all in.”
Here’s a guide to making the most of your last day.
Snacks and Swag: The Marketplace will be open today from 7:15 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. (Last call for branded merch!) This will also be the gathering spot for today’s meals:
- Breakfast: 7:15 to 8 a.m.
- Lunch: 11:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m.
The Critical Client Perspective: Legal marketers must understand the pressures, problems and protocols of their firms’ clients. We kick off today with a candid discussion with lawyers from Google, Cineplex Entertainment, NuVasive, and Padres; they will discuss innovation within their own legal departments; share how law firms can better support them; and provide insight on the everyday business issues they face.
The In-House Counsel Panel immediately follows the LMA Annual Meeting at 8 a.m. in the Grand Ballroom 5.

Advice for All:
- Download the app – “LMA Annual Conference 2024” on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. From there, you can organize your agenda, connect with other attendees, and collect contact information.
- If you feel torn between two sessions, don’t fret: Attendees will receive access to the Recordings Bundle for breakout session recordings.
- Focus your networking time: During lunch, join a table for a Shared Interest Group (SIG) that matters to you. (You do not need to be a member to join.) On Friday, there will be dedicated tables for the Solo/Small Team SIG, the Marketing Technology SIG, the PR & Communications SIG, and the Client Value SIG.
