If you weren’t able to make it to Chicago last week for ABA TECHSHOW, you can get some idea of what Jeff Richardson and I discussed during our “iGadgets and iGear for the iLawyer” session via the visual notes graphic that was created by Stephanie Crowley of The Chrysalis Solution (courtesy of the folks at MyCase):
If you are an attorney interested in legal technology, you need to be in Chicago this week for ABA TECHSHOW. From the Expo Hall to John Dean to informative CLEs to Rick Klau, there is truly something for everyone. This marks the 7th consecutive year that I’ll be speaking at ABA TECHSHOW, and my topics this year include:
You can follow both me (@TheMacLawyer) and Jenny (@MrsMacLawyer) on Twitter to stay up to date about TECHSHOW. We hope to see you there.
Today, I had the pleasure of giving presentations on legal technology and marketing at the Managing Your Practice In A Noisy, Changing World conference in Asheville, NC. My sessions were on the following subjects:
Of course, these are two of my favorite subjects, and the attendees were very engaged and appeared to enjoy both sessions. Thanks to Tom Grella and the staff of the 28th Judicial District Bar for inviting me to speak at this conference. If you are interested in having Ben Stevens present at a conference, you are welcome to send him an email at Ben@SCFamilyLaw.com
Ben Stevens has been invited to speak at the 28th edition of ABA TECHSHOW, which will be held Thursday, March 27, 2014, through Saturday, March 29, 2014, at the Chicago Hilton. This will mark the seventh consecutive year that Ben has spoken at the world’s leading legal technology conference.
His presentations will include “iGadgets and iGear for the iLawyer” with Jeff Richardson (publisher of the iPhone J.D. blog) and “The Business Case for Going All Mac” with Randy Juip (legal technology guru extraordinaire). TECHSHOW is always one of the most informative conferences of the year, so make your plans now to attend. To find out more or register, click HERE.
Ben Stevens will be speaking at the South Carolina Bar’s 2013 Solo & Small Firm Conference this Friday, September 20th in Charleston, SC. This year’s theme is “Making the Most of What You Have!” to help attorneys work better, not harder, by learning how to capitalize on the products and skills they already have.
The faculty at this conference features several ABA TECHSHOW favorites as Catherine Sanders Reach, Bruce Dorner, and Steve Best. The conference will be held at the Charleston Marriott on Lockwood Boulevard, and I will be giving presentations on Riding the Cloud: How My Firm Uses Cloud Case Management and Practical Practice Pointers and Terrific Tech Tips. I appreciate this opportunity, and I look forward to seeing everyone there.
Earlier this year, Ben Stevens was named the chair of the Technology Committee for the South Carolina Association for Justice. Later this week, he and Jenny will be attending the SCAJ annual convention in beautiful Hilton Head Island.
Ben planned and will be moderating Computer Technology seminar there, which features “How We Do the Digital Law Thing by Thomas A. Pendarvis, Esquire and “How Litigation Apps Can Make You A Better Trial Lawyer” by James T. McLaren, Esquire and Jonathan Lounsberry, Esquire.
Ben will also be giving a presentation at the Litigation at Sunrise seminar on “Five Essential Apps for Trial Lawyers”. Ben serves on SCAJ’s Board of Governors, and he previously served two terms as chair of its Family Law Section. He has been an active member of SCAJ for almost two decades, and he proudly shares its mission of protecting the public and keeping South Carolina families safe.

There are some conferences that are just too good to sum up in a few words (or even a few paragraphs), and ABA TECHSHOW 2013 is one of them. Nevertheless, I will try to relay some of my thoughts for those who were not able to make it.
There are basically three things that make TECHSHOW my favorite conference every year:
I’m already looking forward to TECHSHOW 2014, and it can’t get here soon enough.
I am in Chicago this week to present several sessions at ABA TECHSHOW 2013. This marks the sixth year of the “Mac Track”, and I’m honored to have been asked to speak each of those years.
The Mac Track will take place all day tomorrow (April 5th) at the Hilton across from Grant Park, and I will present the following sessions:
There are so many great reasons to attend TECHSHOW, including the other oustanding sessions, Taste of TECHSHOW dinners, and the EXPO hall. If you are in the area, please make plans to attend. If you see me there, please take a minute to introduce yourself, as I always enjoy meeting my readers.
If you need a quick legal-tech fix, or if you’re looking for more legal-tech knowledge, or if you need some massive CLE, you should consider attending the American Bar Association’s TECHSHOW 2013, which will be held in Chicago at the Hilton from April 4 – 6, 2013. Why? There’s so much to mention, but one of the highlights will undoubtedly be the Mac Track.
This year’s Mac Track was planned by the amazing and brilliant Randy Juip, and it lasts all day on April 5th. The faculty members include Ben Stevens, Reid Trautz, David Sparks, Larry Staton, Victor Medina, and Mark Metzger, who will present the following sessions:
In addition to the Mac Track, there are CLE-approved sessions in the following categories: Paperless Productivity; Litigation; Large Firm; Social Media; Tech Grab Bag; Cloud Collaboration; Meet the Author; Solo/Small Firm; Tablets & Smartphones; E-Discovery; Advanced IT; iOS in Action; Android; Windows 8; 60 Sites in 60 Minutes; A plenary presentation on the CraigsList Killer; and keynote speaker David Pogue!
TECHSHOW also features a packed EXPO hall, with hundreds of legal-tech vendors, countless social opportunities (including Taste of TECHSHOW dinners!), and all sorts of other amazing stuff. If you haven’t considered TECHSHOW, or even if you’re on the fence, put some thought into attending. The early-bird registration deadline is coming up on March 11, 2013. You can get more details at www.techshow.com. There are very few legal conferences that are as useful to attorneys as TECHSHOW. Plan to attend – you won’t regret it!
