NOT Another BORING Legal Conference

Labsters, Roll Up Your Sleeves and Let's Get the Hard Stuff Done

Discover your best "Aha!" moments and start implementing them at LabCon.

Have you ever experienced those breakthrough moments during the casual hall conversations between conference sessions? Do you find yourself leaving events with a notebook of ideas that get mostly forgotten when you return to your office?

At LabCon, we've built an entire event around capturing new ideas and giving you time to make it happen.

LabCon is the premier annual unconference exclusively for members of our Lawyerist Lab community. For 2.5 days, you will connect with our coaches, subject matter experts, and other Labsters in an unparalleled experience designed to work on and transform your business.  

Forget about the traditional conference setup. There are no keynotes. There isn't a vendor hall. Say goodbye to hours of people talking at you. Instead, we'll spend our time together:

  • Exploring new concepts to propel your business forward
  • Sharing ideas that really work in small law firms
  • Working in small groups to get stuff done
  • Coaching firm leaders on all aspects of leadership and business best practices and
  • Having a whole lot of fun doing it

Space is LIMITED and we expect to SELL OUT!

AI isn’t “someday.” It’s here. And at LabCon 2025, you’ll have the chance to collaborate directly with the experts shaping how small firms use AI and technology right now.

The highlight? The Hack-a-thon. Roll up your sleeves with our Innovation Team and finally finish the project that’s been stuck on your list. You’ll experiment, build, and leave with real solutions you can put to work in your firm the very next day.

  • Hands-on collaboration — roll up your sleeves with the Innovation Team during the Hack-a-thon to finally finish the project that’s been stuck on your list.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT LABCON

"Having the opportunity to suggest the issues and topics that I was concerned about and the Lawyerist team curating a conference that incorporated those issues and allowing peer-to-peer discussions to identify, discuss, and solve based on a collective knowledge base was amazing. It was such an incredible experience that I know for a fact that I moved, helped, and encouraged people because it did all of that to me. Not only did I find solutions or paths forward for my issues, but I was able to share my experiences to help others do the same, and that was so rewarding!
