Meeting Materials

The Annual Meeting produces a wealth of knowledge and ideas. We've created this materials resource to ensure that you get the maximum benefit from the meetings, whether or not you were able to attend.

Did you miss the 2008 Annual Meeting?

Great Ideas, Innovations & Upheavals.  Once again attendees at our Annual Meeting had the opportunity to meet, discuss and share ideas on three different topics effecting the profession today. 

  • Great Ideas...But Still Waiting to Happen
  • Really Tough Times or Just the Business Cycle?
  • Web 2.0 - What Does This Mean for the Legal Profession

Click here to read a summary of each topic and background on each of our presenters.  Our panel moderators are hard at work following up on the ideas generated at the meeting and will be communicating to our Fellows through our blog, http://blog.colpm.org/colpm/ and in the upcoming Fellows Newsletter.

Additionally, we heard a compelling presentation by Ward Bower with Altman Weil which identifies key global trends and uncertainties that will shape the future of the global legal industry through 2020 and which has developed future scenarios which challenge conventional thinking and current legal service  models.  Click here to view the PowerPoint from Ward's presentation.
