Instructions on How to Access Programs after Registering for Conference

 

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced a host of conferences, institutes and individual CLE programs from summer to fall, from in-person to virtual venues. This year’s Annual Meeting is pivoting too. Rather than moving the entire in-person conference to an already crowded virtual space, this year’s Annual Meeting is going to shift and offer:

  1. A “National Speaker Series" – three one-hour CLE presentations, four influential speakers, on three important topics, over three lunchtime segments during three days in September, and
  2. On demand delivery of the traditional profession-building activities (usually during the Opening Luncheon) that annually reinforce and remind us of our shared professional bonds and common values and celebrate the stability and strength of Missouri’s legal profession, even during these very unstable times.

At a time when the entire profession is working to recover from the effects of the worldwide pandemic, we are pleased to offer all 2020 Annual Meeting events at no-cost for members, thanks to our generous sponsorship partners.
