The Symphony Legal annual conference. Your source of inspiration, of ideas, of innovation.
We have designed what we hope you will agree is not your typical law firm conference. Below is a final version of the agenda to whet your appetite for what is going to be a fantastic conference.
After a full day of learning, the fun will begin with our Annual Awards Dinner; a chance to relax, let your hair down and network with colleagues. Last year's dinner was a night to remember and we aim to make this year's equally as memorable with entertainment from Celia Delaney.
Nominations for awards are now open and will close on Tuesday 27 August 2019 at noon. Winners will be announced at the awards dinner on the 12 September.
And then for those who still want more, we will reconvene the next day for further learning and depart before lunch.
Booking is now open via the Eventbrite link, but if you wish to be invoiced a place, please email enquiries@symphonylegal.com
