Quick Overview

6 reasons why you should attend legal marketing events

Legal marketing events are where you can find a room filled with people who have expert insights and experience. Even the most experienced marketers find it worthwhile as it is a great way to connect and network with other professionals in the industry and learn about topics they may not know so well. 

This is true in almost any industry, yet even more important for legal marketers, whose challenges and opportunities often differ from their colleagues in non-legal businesses.

We’ve highlighted just six of the reasons why you should invest in joining legal marketing events in 2025:

1. Learn from the Best

Marketing events provide a platform to hear from industry leaders, experts, and innovators who share their insights, experiences, and knowledge.

2. Network Like a Pro

There will be multiple opportunities to connect with like-minded professionals, potential clients, partners, and mentors. Building relationships and expanding your professional network can open doors to new opportunities- so don’t stand in the corner scrolling on your phone to avoid social interaction!

3. Stay Ahead of the Curve

Attending conferences allows you to stay informed about the latest trends, developments, and innovations in your field. This knowledge helps you stay competitive and adapt to changes.

4. Get Inspired and Motivated

Hearing from successful individuals and seeing the possibilities in your field can spark new ideas and motivate you to pursue your goals.

5. Level Up Your Skills

Many legal marketing events offer workshops, training sessions, and hands-on learning experiences that can help you develop new skills or enhance existing ones.

6. Get Your Name Out There

Conferences provide opportunities to showcase your expertise, share your work, and raise your profile in your industry.

• Reflect on yourself before the event - What are your goals for this event? What do you hope to gain? Are you there to network, spark your innovative mind, or learn new strategies? Describe what success means to you.

• Schedule, Schedule, Schedule - Look at the schedule beforehand and mark the sessions that are essential to attend. Give top priority to seminars, panel discussions, and keynote addresses that interest you. 

• Take notes and use them - Set aside time to go over the notes and think of how they will become useful to you and your job.

• Early bird gets the worm - Before you arrive, interact with the organizers, speakers, and attendees on LinkedIn or event apps. In-person networking will be much easier and less daunting. 

• Don’t be shy - Participate in conversations, and pose questions. It’s normal to be hesitant when approaching or interacting with people, but don’t let this opportunity pass you by. Interactive sessions are known to have the best results.

• Dig deeper - Engage in meaningful conversations; ask them about the trends they're most enthusiastic about or the difficulties they're facing instead. Gather more than just business cards; get LinkedIn contacts.

• Visit the Exhibitors - Innovative tools and services are displayed by industry vendors. It's good to know what's available, even if you're not buying right now.

• Practice what you preach - To strengthen your learning and improve your professional presence, write a summary, share important insights on your blog, or LinkedIn.

• Stand out from the rest - While the conversation is still ongoing, send customized messages to new contacts. Reference insights from your conversation and check in now and again to stay connected.

No matter which legal marketing events you attend this year, keep these tips in mind to ensure you get the most value from them, helping to propel both your career and your firm forward.
