My sincerest thanks to all the members, vendors, speakers, and staff who made the 2008 Annual Meeting of DRI-The Voice of the Defense Bar such an extraordinary success.
Networking is always one of the most important benefits of our annual meetings – and New Orleans is the best networking city in America. Just by being there, DRI members were able to seize opportunity after opportunity to share professional experiences. We have already supported New Orleans in the wake of two hurricanes by holding other DRI meetings here and it was appropriate that we bring our flagship meeting back to the city we love. We will certainly continue to do so in the future.
Happily, the 2008 Annual Meeting was attended by more than 1,200 of our attorneys. In addition to networking, the Annual Meeting of DRI-The Voice of the Defense Bar created opportunities to help members plan for 2009. To be sure, the coming year presents unprecedented challenges for our country and for the legal profession. Life will be different for us all.
