Participating in conferences as attendee, host, speaker, or panelist is a common marketing technique for lawyers. The problem is access and opportunity. The Draughon Affiliate has several options.

Draughon sponsors an annual Technology Policy Conference in Jacksonville, Florida. The Conference started in 1999 and has become increasingly popular, with attendees at the 2001 Conference exceeding 400 participants. Participants include technology enterprises interested in policy and legal issues. High profile speakers have included Jack Kemp and Steve Forbes, as well as Michael Maibach (Intel), Orson Swindle (FCC), Lisa Napoli (MSNBC Internet Correspondent) and Rich Lowry (National Review).

Affiliates can participate in the Conference in several ways. Sponsors can invite up to twenty guests to the reception, luncheon and conference program, providing an ideal opportunity to introduce clients to business development and networking opportunities. Affiliates can also participate in the Program as speakers and panelists. Your participation in the Conference can be highlighted to MyTechnologyLawyer.com users.
