Tech Circuit: From Broadway to 53rd Edition

At ALM’s headquarters in New York City, preparation for our upcoming LegalTech New York 2013 is in high gear. I’m counting the days until Tuesday, January 29 arrives. Yes, you read that correctly, Tuesday. Henry Dicker, our czar of the annual show at the Hilton New York, pulled off a near miracle, and was able to shift the show to a Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday schedule, from our traditional start on Mondays. That’s making many vendors and attendees very happy, not only because vendors get to dodge the Sunday premium on setup charges, but everybody avoids having to travel on  Sunday family time. And for die-hards like me, it gives us ammunition to convince fellow LTNY addicts who are out-of-state to fly in over the weekend and savor Manhattan’s many restaurants and other delicious distractions.

>> Food & Thoughts: Speaking of LTNY, be sure to mark your calendar for our annual Editors’ and Bloggers’ breakfasts, which as is our tradition, will be held on Day 2 (Wednesday, January 30) in the Gibson Suite at the New York Hilton. This is a great opportunity for attendees to “put the name to the face” of editors of our national publications, as well as some of the top legal bloggers. ALM’s Vice President & Editor-in-Chief, Aric Press, will emcee the Editors’ Breakfast, which starts at 8 a.m.; our CEO and President Bill Carter will take the podium for the Bloggers’ session, at 9 a.m. It’s casual, informal, and there will be plenty of coffee, tea, and conversation. It’s also free and open to all, no reservations required. Can’t wait to see you there!
