The Law2020™ initiative is one year in, and although we’re beginning to see a clearer picture of what the legal industry might look like in 2020, there are still unanswered questions lying ahead of us.

The Professional Services steering committee invites you to check out this podcast interview with ILTA’s own T.J. Johnson.  T.J. relives the historic flooding in the spring of 2010 in Nashville, Tennessee, that forced the relocation of ILTA’s annual conference, compressing the planning process down from years into a couple of months.  As a part of the podcast we explore the disaster recovery techniques that helped make the 2010 event a success, techniques that could help save you and your organization’s projects.  We also explore steps that are being taken to make future conferences even more “disaster-proof”.
