About The Conference

Attend this event where minority and women lawyers are invited to become our nation’s new “legal digital thought leaders and tech innovators” in order to create new and positive narratives about people of color and women in media.  Learn to leverage legal digital media publishing and web TV broadcasting by media industry experts and tech leaders. Hear from General Counsel and CEO’s about why “Minority Lawyer Thought Leadership Matters” and how corporate boards and leaders are looking for minority thought leadership and need a one stop solution to increase engagement with and the utilization of minority lawyers. Many outstanding in-house counsel will share their experience and insights on how to bring diverse thought leadership to minority businesses, communities and corporations.
