UPCOMING SHOW SPOTLIGHT 

LegalTech New York September

September 19-20, 2002

The New York Hilton

LegalTech September in New York is happening September 19 & 20 - and there’s no better place to be!  The vibrancy of the New York market is a great start to fall and there’s no better venue to position your company in front of the industry. 

The size of the legal community, the diversity of practitioners who attend, and the fact that we are the biggest event of its kind on the east coast are some of the reasons to participate.  In any economy, visibility and selling agility will keep you ahead of the competition.  You get both at LegalTech September in New York.

Did you know that we sell more Law Firm Passes for the New York events than any other venue?  That translates into a solid showing of legal teams-- those with a vested interest in the technology and its usage through their firm.  The Law Firm Pass is a proven performer for drawing the IT /MIS and CIO titles along with attorneys, managing partners and general counsel.  You’ll be able to stretch you marketing muscles with this diverse crowd.

We anticipate a strong attendance; based on our January numbers and the history of this September show -- now in its 5th year.  Despite economic uncertainties, your presence in this market indicates your dedication to your products, services and your customers.  It’s reassuring now, and will be remembered in the long haul. 

With 3 conference tracks, LegalTech is by far the most relevant conference for all practitioners. Sessions cover both familiar and new technology, which will also draw an attendee mix: the decision-makers, the facilitators, the trainers, and the end-users.  Expanded programming includes sessions presented by LawNet and we’re happy to be welcoming back the Association of the Bar of City of New York and The New York State Bar as co-sponsors.

“Legal Tech has become a vital part of our marketing communications activities.  The Legal Tech New York shows afford us a great opportunity to put the organization in front of members and potential members” quotes Richard Martin of the New York State Bar.  

For your opportunity to be out in front of your customers and potential customers, visit www.legaltechshow.com or contact Rob Hafiz at 651-578-7831.

GOOD NEWS!  LegalTech San Francisco numbers are up!  Registration is well ahead of last year’s event, and we’re taking it as an optimistic sign in a cautious economy.  If your marketing strategy includes the west coast, this is a great opportunity to reach your market as part of the #1 legal technology conference and tradeshow in the world.
