Thursday
Welcome Reception - Meet and greet old and new friends and colleagues at a reception following the Opening Plenary.
 
Newcomers Dinner - Experienced consumer attorneys will lead groups of first-time attendees to dinner in Chicago after the Opening Reception.  It's a good way to meet experienced consumer attorneys as well as other first-timers.  Participants pick up their own tabs.  Pre-registration requested to facilitate making restaurant reservations in advance.  More information will be available closer to the time of the conference.  Thanks to Steve Gardner, Center for Science in the Public Interest, for organizing this networking opportunity.   
 
Friday
Minority Lunch - Special luncheon for advocates of color to network and discuss common issues of interest.

Networking Lunches - Self-directed affinity lunches give attendees an opportunity to meet those with common interests, be it home state, practice area, type or size of practice, or other shared interest.  We'll email more information to conference registrants before the conference.

Friday evening - NACA Annual Meeting, Media and Trial Advocacy Awards, and NACA/CRLC Party.

Awards Luncheon - Don't miss NCLC's inspirational Countryman Award presentation, and our keynote speaker.
