Let’s get the party started as Justin Willman, star and creator of the hit Netflix series Magic For Humans, melts your brain—in a good way! Justin is a magician and comedian whose live show is simultaneously mind-blowing and hilarious. It will likely keep you up at night wondering how any of it was possible. So grab a complimentary cocktail and get ready to laugh. After the show, Justin will be available for a meet and greet and photos.

We’ll also be shining a light on our Lifetime Achievement Award honoree Caryn Siebert as well as announcing the winners of our Professional of the Year Awards as part of the keynote session before we head across the street to City View at Metreon for the Taste of San Francisco Kickoff Party.

LMI: A Designation and Up to 24 CE/CLE Credits Too

Join CLM in Chicago June 6-9, 2024, for Litigation Management Institute (LMI). This year, CLM returns to the Loyola University Chicago School of Law for its focused executive education experience.

Students spend three days on campus interacting with a cohort of no more than 100 classmates all working towards the Certified Litigation Management Professional (CLMP) designation. Participants often tell us that they found great value in the group interactions and formed ongoing professional relationships with their team.

Registration is now open and is strictly limited to 100 students. For more information and to register, click here.
