On the road and on the Net By Jordan Furlong ? Published: August 3rd, 2011 SHARE:Tweet INSHARE Before providing a series of links to articles I’ve recently published elsewhere, I want to bring your attention to my next two public speaking appearances and encourage you to come check them out. First, I’ll be in Toronto this Friday, August 5, at the Annual Meeting of the American Bar Association. I’m honoured to be appearing on a Presidential CLE Panel sponsored by the ABA’s Standing Committee on Technology and Information Systems. “eAttorney, MiAttorney: How Technology Has Changed Communication and Collaboration With Clients” runs from 8:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. at the Metro Toronto Convention Center, Room 716B, 700 Level, South Building. My fellow panelists are the real draw: Dennis Kennedy, Daniel Schwartz and Michael Downey will join me to discuss the impact of technology on the lawyer-client relationship, legal ethics, and the legal marketplace generally. Secondly, I’ll be in Nashville on Monday, August 22, at the International Legal Technology Association’s 2011 Rev-elation Conference. I’m greatly looking forward to moderating the panel “Offshoring and Outsourcing: What It Means for Your Firm and Your Job” at 1:00 pm in the Governor’s C Ballroom at the Gaylord Opryland Resort. I’ll be joined by two high-profile experts in this field, Toby Brown and Kevin Colangelo, in a session introduced by V. Mary Abraham.
