firmTRAK Attends ClioCon 2023 in Nashville

Introduction: 

Last week firmTRAK attended CliCon in the one and only Music City.  CloCon is the annual event for Clio, a law firm specific management platform, held to educate, inform and allow subscribers and potential subscribers to see, first hand, recent improvements and changes in the application.  As a leader for legaltech innovation, the conference brought together legal professionals, industry experts, and legal tech companies from around the world. For a legal accounting services and SAAS reporting company like firmTRAK, it was a valuable chance to connect with our peers, learn about the latest trends, and showcase our platform.

Overview of the Conference:

For two days, the Gaylord Resort and Convention center  was buzzing with energy and enthusiasm. Over 2,500 attendees flooded the expo hall eager to observe, learn and understand cutting-edge legal tech solutions. The speaker lineup featured 150+ sessions led by renowned industry leaders. Topics spanned from access to justice and diversity in law to security and automation. 

Entertainment and education go hand in hand with the Clio Convention. On the first night of the conference attendees experienced a show at the Grand Ole Opry. The quintessential music hall, the Grand Ole Opry showcased the essence of what Nashville Tennessee has to offer.  The show at the Opry was a great way to relax and unwind after the first day of the conference.  

Following the second day of the conference and to celebrate the end of another great convention, Clio offered attendees another night of entertainment. Our founder, Carin states: “The Tuesday night “After Dark” event took place at Luke’s 32 Bridge on Broadway Street in downtown  Nashville, TN. Live music, lots of food and free flowing libations allowed the conference attendees to relax, socialize following two intense days of the conference.
