LMA, the Last Holdout to Move to A Virtual Conference, Bites the Bullet

It was, as far as I can tell, the last holdout among major legal organizations that was still planning an in-person annual conference.

But now the Legal Marketing Association, the organization that represents legal marketing and business development professionals, has bit the bullet and cancelled its live conference and shifted to virtual.

The live conference had originally been scheduled for April and was rescheduled due to the coronavirus crisis to take place Oct. 17 and 18 in Denver, Colo. In now moving to a virtual conference, the LMA has shifted the dates again, to Oct. 19-22.

In a message to members Wednesday, LMA President Jill Huse wrote:

“After careful consideration of several factors, including valuable feedback from so many of you, the LMA Board of Directors have decided to transition the 2020 LMA Annual Conference to an online virtual experience, which will take place October 19-22, 2020. Protecting the health of our attendees, speakers, sponsors and staff has always been our top priority, and unfortunately holding an in-person gathering of our community this year is not feasible or prudent.”

While there are still many details to be worked out, Huse wrote, the organization is aiming “to create an immersive virtual event experience that will deliver the high-caliber educational programming and networking opportunities you have come to expect of the annual conference.”

For LMA members who already paid to register for the Denver meeting, their registrations will be transferred to the virtual conference. Those registrants will be entitled to receive two additional passes to share with others.

Pre-registrants who do not wish to attend the virtual conference will have three options:

Transfer the paid registration to the 2021 conference in April.

Request a refund. The LMA says that refund requests must be submitted prior to Aug. 21.

Designate a substitute to take the spot.

With regard to hotel reservations, anyone who reserved through the LMA at what was to be the conference venue, the Gaylord Rockies, will automatically be cancelled.

Well, this is just damn sweet. Thank you, Jill Mason Huse, our fearless and fabulous Legal Marketing Association - LMA International 2020 president, for these adorable caricatures she had made of every international board member. I wish I had a recording of what she said when she presented because it was so heartfelt, kind, gracious - she brought happy tears to my eyes. It has been one of the great honors of my life to serve as treasurer-elect this year, soon to try mightily to follow in the incredible footsteps of current treasurer Brenda Plowman. I also have been thrilled to support the fantastic efforts of Jenna Schiappacasse and Beth Marie Cuzzone and the “Strategies” editorial board who killed it in inventive, empathetic, dynamic ways all year long. It has been a difficult, trying, but ultimately fulfilling twelve months for all of us, and I feel so grateful to be part of this fantastic tribe. @lmaintl @jahuse @brenda.l.plowman @jennakate413 @bmcuzz (at Legal Marketing Association - LMA International) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIlutqwDkMg/?igshid=1d35n7sprlupm

Thank you, Jill, for your exceptional leadership and for your caring heart. The journey this year has been, to say the least, memorable, but it has been a great gift to be able to share the experience and the work with you. She writes, “Over these last few weeks in watching our country further divide and let negativity and doubt overshadow our collective search for the betterment of our existence, I want to acknowledge where we are and take a moment to be grateful for all that we do have in our lives. For me, it’s my family and friends and our health and safety. It’s the professional friendships that I’ve gained through being part of this organization that has given me so much. It’s the ability to give back to an industry that I love. It’s the faith I have in my colleagues to help make the right, not always popular, decisions. It’s the willingness of all of you to be part of something bigger than yourselves, to be selfless with your intentions and help us elevate as an industry.” More: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/attitude-gratitude-jill-huse @jahuse @lmaintl #lmamkt (at Saline, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEcxbfNDlyh/?igshid=qucw48l0qlem
