2019 Futures ConferenceOverviewThe conference will be hosted by and held at Belmont University College of Law on October 24-25, 2019. After two years of single-topic conferences, this year we will return to the broader theme of the future of law practice management broadly defined. There is a half day of programming on Thursday, followed by an evening welcome reception where we will combine the Nashville music scene with law practice innovation. On Friday, there is a full day of programming followed by the 2019 Fellows Induction Ceremony and Dinner at our headquarters hotel, the Loews Vanderbilt. This year, our conference theme is “In Tune with the Future,” and we will recognize that the future is already HERE. We'll showcase what some may deem to be cutting edge in the delivery of legal services, but for many are now just routine business practices. We'll tour innovations, practices, technologies and perspectives that have overturned decades of thinking about how legal services are consumed, purchased, delivered, managed, priced, and rewarded. We're excited to be in Nashville – "Music City" – because it provides an excellent backdrop for demonstrating how an evolving industry can adapt and thrive. We'll learn how incumbents and disruptors in music have navigated their way through a fast-changing industry and see innovations that are making music more accessible – for musicians creating it, for consumers enjoying it, and for the many contributors along the way. The Futures programming will showcase the immense breadth and depth of talent found in the Fellows of the College of Law Practice Management. Many Fellows have been leading change for a long time, so we'll hear what they're up to today and learn what's next in the legal marketplace. It's sure to be an intellectually stimulating event in a very entertaining city! Click here to view the conference schedule and 2019 faculty bios.
