Lawyers from around the Country will be gathering in our Nation’s Capital for the Second Annual City Legal National Conference in late August this year. This Conference for City Legal Hope Group members (and those simply interested in finding out more!) will begin with a two-course dinner on Thursday evening, 24th August, followed by an after-dinner speech from Max Jeganathan on Leadership in this Dark Time. Max will also be speaking on Confessions of a Political Advisor at a classic City Legal event on Friday morning.

We will also be hearing from great speakers like Dan Anderson, John Bales and Wilbur Longbottom (bios below). Along with talks, electives and devotions, delegates will be able to attend CPD accredited Seminars. In an exciting development, Advanced Hope Group training will be available from experienced presenter Wilbur Longbottom for those who attended last year’s conference.

The registration cost of $240 includes 2 x CPD Seminars plus:
Thursday - two course dinner
Friday - breakfast, lunch + morning/afternoon tea

Discount Accommodation @ Rydges Hotel Capital Hill (if required for out-of-town delegates) is available. See the Conference Brochure for info about this and other conference details.
