Legal Management Redux - Toronto
(Thursday, October 1, 10:00-12:00 plus lunch)

Feedback from the 2015 event
86% of respondents said they were "Extremely" or "Very" likely to recommend attending the event to a colleague.
 
"a great format and a terrific group of presenters/participants. The time flew by, and it made me think about things differently – even with respect to familiar issues or software"
 
"a unique opportunity to share, question, engage, and be inspired. The speakers and table conversations ignited interesting and novel ideas; as people engaged, innovative ideas bounced off the walls and the energy in the room was palpable."
 
"Got lots of ideas and good conversations jammed into 2 hours. Great mix of fast presentations and then discussion. . . .And a great mix of topics.
 
"the networking was great!  . . . Size was perfect - I may not recommend to others so that it can be kept small and nimble."
