I'm flying to Chicago tomorrow for the ABA TECHSHOW conference that runs Thursday through Saturday. I look forward to talking with as many iPhone-using lawyers as possible to find out your favorite apps and uses for the iPhone, so please stop me to say hello if you are there! (I look like this and this.) And to help you find me, here are some items already on my schedule. (You can get the complete TECHSHOW conference schedule in PDF format here.)
Wednesday
7pm - 8:30pm: Ignite Law 2010. I plan to attend this event, at which 16 speakers get just 6 minutes and 20 slides each to discuss the future of law. Should be interesting. It is free to attend, and you can sign up and get more details here.
Thursday
4pm - 5pm: 60 Apps in 60 Minutes. Reid Trautz and I will be giving this presentation. I hope that you can attend and I'd love to chat after the session. The location is room Northwest 2.
5pm - 6pm: ABA TECHSHOW Welcome Recption. At the Normandie Lounge at the Hilton. I will try to stop by after my presentation.
6pm - 7pm: TechShow Tweetup. LexisNexis is sponsoring the ABA TechShow Tweetup from 5:30 to 7:30 at Kitty O’Sheas Pub at the Hilton. I'll probably stop by whenever I leave the Welcome Reception.
7:15pm - ?: Taste of Techshow. Ernie Svenson and I are leading the iPhone-themed Taste of Techshow dinner. If you own an iPhone, and if you eat dinner, then you should plan to join us. There will be a sign up sheet at the show, at the concierge desk. I believe that the location for our dinner will be Tutto Italiano Ristorante.
Friday
2pm - 4pm: Concierge Booth. The concierge booth always tends to be a gathering spot throughout TECHSHOW so you may find me there frequently, but I'm specifically assigned to work at the booth on Friday from 2 to 4.
5:30pm - 7:30pm: Beer for Bloggers. The ABA Journal and legal blogging expert Kevin O'Keefe, the founder of LexBlog, Inc., are hosting the Beer for Bloggers event at the Lakeside Green Lounge in the Hilton. You can get more information and sign up here on O'Keefe's site or here on the ABA site.
Saturday
8:30am - 9:30am: iPhone Tips for Lawyers. Ben Stevens and I will be giving this presentation on tips and tricks for using your iPhone, including ways to maximize the built-in iPhone apps such as Mail, Contacts and Safari, strategies and third-party apps that can help you better integrate the iPhone into your law practice, and more. Our location is room Northwest 5.
11am-Noon: 60 Sites in 60 Minutes. I'll definitely attend this final presentation of TECHSHOW, which is always a lot of fun. You can see some of the sites selected in past years here. This year, the speakers are Toby Brown, Debbie Foster, Adriana Linares and Ernie Svenson. Of course, there will be hundreds of people attending, so the chance of you finding me in the room are pretty small, but I'll be there somewhere.
Finally, this week I'm following the hashtag #techshow on Twitter so I'll be listening to you if you include #techshow in your tweets.
For those of you headed to Chicago, I look forward to seeing you this week!
