What is the Legal Geek ethos?

Legal Geek is all about having fun, making friends and learning new things.

We have defined a simple ethos for our events:

– Come to make friends, not to sell
– Dress comfortably (please, please, no ties)
– Come to learn and to teach
– Look after your fellow attendees, you may need their help someday
– This is your community, please pitch in and help

What is speed networking?

We want you to make new friends! During the speed networking, you will have a chance to meet 15 new people in 15 minutes! It’s high speed, high energy and high value!

What do I wear and what will I be eating?

We want you to be dressed comfortably, and we have no dress code. The only thing we ask is that you avoid wearing ties. In terms of food and drinks – expect local pizza places in Chicago and New York and a mix of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, including beers and wine.

Speakers and agenda

The agendas in New York and Chicago are slightly different but each event includes short TED-style talks, product pitches, speed networking, drinks and pizzas. The Toronto event is drinks-only. Check out the full agendas and speaker lineups for: New York, Chicago and Toronto.
