Call for Speakers: Give an ILSTalk!
Inspired by Ted Talks, one feature of this year's Section retreat in Boca Raton will be our members' own ILSTalks. ILSTalks are short presentations, no longer than 8 to 16 minutes, designed to entertain, inform, and educate you on the latest topics in international law, society, and leadership. You will learn something new about the markets and communities in which we operate, gain a new perspective on issues you and your clients face, and be inspired to improve the way you work and communicate.
We already have several scheduled presenters on exciting and diverse topics, and if you have a topic that you would like to feature we would love to hear from you.
Please contact Al Lindsay ([email protected]) with a short synopsis of your proposed ILSTalk.
