Conference Naming Contest
|
ATTENTION SECTION MEMBERS!
The ILS's annual international litigation, arbitration, and business transactions conference needs a NEW name and we need your help!! In the past, the conference has been referred to as ILAC (Int'l Litigation and Arbitration Conference) and ILAT (Int'l Litigation, Arbitration and Business Transactions Conference), among other names.
We are looking for new ideas and short, memorable words that creatively identify our Section's flagship event. As such, the ILS Annual Conference Name Contest has begun! Over the next few weeks we will be accepting naming ideas at the following email -
[email protected]. Please include "ILS Conference Name Contest" in the subject line of your email. The winning idea and its author will be announced at our Section's Retreat in September. If your idea is selected as the winning name, you will receive a prize at the retreat. Submissions will be accepted until August 12, 2016. So get to work, put on your thinking caps and send us your ideas!
