Solo conference shaping up to be another success

Jul 23rd, 2010 by Mark Cohen

Next month Minnesota CLE will hold its annual much-liked and well-attended Duluth conference for small-firm and solo practitioners.

The full name of the program — to be held Monday Aug. 2 and Tuesday Aug. 3 — is the “Strategic Solutions for Solo and Small Firms Conference.” This year’s program includes a few big names: Carolyn Elefant, a well-known blogger and lecturer on solo and small-firm issues; Barron Henley on technology; and social networking and legal writing guru Lisa Solomon. Also, back by popular demand, will Matthew Homann, who delivered a much-talked about keynote last year. There is also a preconference event for those of you who want to arrive a day early and enjoy a day more of good times by Lake Superior.

Minnesota CLE’s Peter Berge told me that signups are ahead of last year, with more than 400 expected to attend the conference.

We can vouch for the fact that folks enjoyed themselves last year. When we spoke with a random selection of attendees at the 2009 conference, we got nothing but positive feedback.
