Registration for LawNet 2004: A New Tradition (LawNet's annual educational conference) opened last week. This is by far the premier conference for legal technology professionals, full of substantive educational opportunities (with over fifteen different tracks of educational sessions) and ample opportunities for peer networking. Phoenix will be the coolest destination this August; check it out. (Note to vendors: there are still a few vendor slots available, I believe, so if you want an opportunity to get in front of close to 800 law firm IT decision makers, think about registering.)

I will be representing the LawNet Interface Software SIG (LawNet's special interest group for InterAction users) at the LMA conference in Orlando, Florida this week. I will be at the Interface Software booth in the exhibit hall; if you or users from your Marketing Department plan to attend, please stop by and introduce yourself. I will have swag (always a plus!) and information about the SIG's upcoming webinar series on Data Quality in InterAction.

This series of webinars will open with an overview of data quality options in InterAction, followed by an in-depth look at two of the primary tools for maintaining data integrity--the Data Change Management features and Application Collaboration. While all three webinars will be of interest to everyone working with InterAction in your firms, the third will be of particular interest to the individuals in your department who are responsible for configuring Application Collaboration. Registration will begin later this week at PeerToPeer.org; click on the "Meetings" link.
