Kevin just finished up his presentation at the Get a Life Conference on Networking through the Internet: It's Not About Technology.
I followed along on the live video stream and on Twitter to see the commentary. Here's a sampling of the chatter and reaction to the presentation:
LexBlog CEO Kevin O'Keefe is in Chicago this week for the Total Attorneys "Get a Life" Conference. The conference focuses on how to "run your practice without running yourself into the ground." There will be over 20 speakers, discussing client relations, marketing techniques, staff support, and other topics.
For those who couldn't make it to Chicago, you can still follow the speakers and panels online with their live video stream.
There is also a healthy Twitter discussion on the event, which you can follow with the hashtag #gal09.
We'll continue to have some updates and recaps from the conference today and tomorrow.
To finish off the week, we reached out to Legal IT founder and conference chair Dominic Jaar for his reflections on the event. Dominic is also legal counsel at Ledjit Consulting Inc.
