ALM Editors Breakfast

The ALM Editors Breakfast is an opportunity for the editors of the various ALM publications to pitch their publications and meet many of the vendors and PR folks in attendance.  The event is Tuesday, February 2nd at 8am in the Petit Trianon Ballroom in the Hilton.  All vendors are welcome and the event usually lasts an hour.  After an introduction, each editor will talk about their publication and then the room is open for mingling.  This usually is more like a free-for-all with everyone running for the top editors.  

Bloggers Breakfast

The Bloggers Breakfast follows the Editors Breakfast at 9am on Tuesday, February 2nd in the Petit Trianon Ballroom.  ALM offers full conference pass to legal bloggers (unfortunately non-vendor only!).  To register for a bloggers conference pass, send an email to Tom Kiley at tjkiley@alm.com. They need a link to your blog and full contact information including a physical mailing address. To facilitate effective blogging and tweeting during the conference, the front rows in all the meeting rooms will be reserved for bloggers and will have electricity available (but you will have to provide your own wi-fi connection!).

LTN Awards 

On Monday, February 1st, there will be a party to honor the winners of the 2009 LTN Awards.  The event will be held from 6-8pm in the Mercury Ballroom. Tickets are $250 and can be purchased in advance online here and a limited number of tickets will be available on Monday at LegalTech, on the 3rd floor in the sales room.

LegalTech 2010 is only days away so hopefully, for those of you attending, bags are packed and last minute to dos are completed. Safe travels and see you in New York.
