I’m headed to Chicago today for ABA TECHSHOW 2019. If you will be there too, please say hello!
On Thursday night, California attorney David Sparks of MacSparky and Mac Power Users and I will co-host one of the Taste of Techshow dinners. While our dinner is currently sold out, there are still spots open for other dinners.
On Friday morning, you will not find me 7am at the 3rd Annual TECHSHOW 5K, but congrats to all of you who are completing the circles on your Apple Watch that early in the morning. You will find me presenting a session at 8:30 a.m. in Room Columbus GH with Virginia attorney Sharon Nelson, a former TECHSHOW chair, a former president of the Virginia State Bar, publisher of Ride the Lightning, and the current President of Sensei Enterprises, Inc., a digital forensics, cybersecurity and information technology firm in Fairfax, Virginia. Our session is titled Vetting Technology: Avoid Indecision Paralysis. We will be giving advice on the types of technology that you should consider purchasing for your law firm and then provide tips on selecting what technology is the best for your firm. Sharon has worked with many smaller law firms and I have experience as the Chair of the Technology Committee at my (relatively) large law firm, Adams and Reese. This will be the first time that I’ve done a presentation with Sharon, but I’ve known her for years and she really knows her stuff. I’d love to have you join us.
Then at 10:30, you can join me in Room Columbus AB where I will team up with legal tech consultant Brett Burney of Apps in Law, who is also a former ABA TECHSHOW chair. Our topic is Get Your Mobile Ninja On: Top iOS Tips, Apps, and Gear. Imagine the old 60 Apps in 60 Minutes session that used to be at TECHSHOW, add on top of it a session full of iOS tips, and then add on top of that some hardware accessory recommendations. Yikes! It’s a huge topic, we have tons of cool things to talk about, and Brett is one of my favorite people to present with on iOS topics. You won’t want to miss it, and we’ll do our best to squeeze it all into one hour.
I need to leave the conference on Friday — after all, it is Mardi Gras in New Orleans this weekend! — but on Thursday and Friday I look forward to seeing lots of iPhone J.D. readers, especially all of you who I have gotten to know at prior conferences. If you are staying in Chicago through the weekend, consider attending the live recording of Mac Power Users on Saturday night.
