As we near the end of 2021, legal information and knowledge professionals have continued to work primarily in a remote environment. This has not only impacted how we work, but also how we network, how we learn, and how we grow as professionals.
In this environment, there are many reasons to gather as a group of likeminded professionals. They include not only expanding our network, but also the ability to share ideas and work with others or to find solutions to common problems; this is what we miss when we are unable to gather in a structured and, almost more importantly, an unstructured way.
To help provide these opportunities, HBR is proud to introduce the Legal Information + Knowledge Services (LINKS) Conference, a half-day conference designed to connect legal information and knowledge professionals for mutual learning and networking.
To be held on Thursday, October 14, from 1:00 p.m. ET to 6:00 p.m. ET, this conference is open to law firm leaders, managers, and other professionals engaged in the information and knowledge field. Proceeds will benefit the AALL George A. Strait Minority Scholarship & Fellowship fund.
The agenda offers opportunities to learn, exchange ideas, and network:
