Cloud-based legal practice management platform developer Clio has announced its inaugural 2013 Clio Cloud Conference, to be held September 23 and 24 in Chicago, IL. The two-day event will feature legal industry thought leaders speaking on the evolving relationship between law and technology, while also showcasing the latest developments in Clio and innovative technologies for the legal industry.

“We’re thrilled to be hosting the inaugural Clio Cloud Conference, and even more excited to be defining a new class of legal conference that delivers compelling content from industry thought leaders, the Clio team, our partners, and our customers,“ states Jack Newton, Clio’s founder and CEO. “We are committed to helping our customers take their law practices to ‘Cloud 9’, and this conference is an important part of delivering on that promise.”

The 2013 Clio Cloud Conference promises to be an engaging and interactive affair comprising of sessions providing key insights into the state of the legal market and the adoption of new technologies, as well as giving attendees practical hands-on training on Clio’s existing features as well as exciting new features that will be released at the event.
