ABA Annual Meeting Will Be a Virtual Conference This Year

May 6, 2020

The ABA announced on April 30 that, given the COVID-19 pandemic, it will transition its 2020 Annual Meeting, scheduled for July 29-Aug. 4 in Chicago, to an entirely virtual meeting.

"While we will not meet in person this summer in Chicago, I am pleased that we will nonetheless gather together to continue our important work," said ABA President Judy Perry Martinez. "The ABA will present our Annual Meeting this year with a fresh, new approach to our always informative and inspiring event that so many of us and our families look forward to."

The virtual meeting is free to ABA members. The ABA says it will offer registrants access to influential speakers relevant to the legal profession and the highest quality programming with a revised schedule to accommodate members' locations and time. The virtual meeting will include governance and business meetings, CLE Showcase programs, virtual networking opportunities, General Assembly with the presentation of the ABA Medal, and the House of Delegates.

Will this be challenging? Absolutely. Holding such a large conference virtually is no easy task. I will watch with interest as further details become available.
