LXBN Partners with Avvo to Provide Extensive Coverage of Avvocating Conference 2012

I am happy to announce that, like we did with LegalTech New York, LXBN will provide media coverage of Avvocating 2012 here in Seattle on May 3rd and May 4th. Avvocating, billed as “Legal Development in the Era of Social Media,” brings together a wealth of thought-leaders in the online marketing and legal client development communities. The conference’s keynotes include Rich Barton, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman at Zillow and Founder of Expedia; Stephen Fairley, Founder & CEO of The Rainmaker Institute and LXBN author; and Carolyn Elefant, lawyer and blogger at MyShingle.com and author of Solo by Choice. I had the opportunity to to swing by Avvo’s Seattle offices to speak with CEO & Founder Mark Britton, who talks about the conference’s speakers, what he expects to be the most popular subjects covered and what he’s personally looking forward to about the conference. http://youtu.be/JwletTugT7w LexBlog’s editorial team aims to provide video interviews of every speaker and every sponsor, along with a number of prominent attendees. In doing so, we intend to expand the reach of the ideas and information presented at Avvocating far beyond the walls of the conference itself. That content, along with curated indepent coverage from other bloggers and those tweeting at the conference, will run on a featured channel of LXBN. If you are attending the Avvocating conference and plan to blog either there or after, let us know and we’ll feature your content with ours. Of course, there is still time to sign up if you can make your way to Seattle. LXBN members will receive a discounted fare, so watch for a promo code in an email to come early next week. You can look for advance coverage to come over the next couple weeks on both this blog and on LXBN.
