Well Vancouver is close to Seattle, so we exercised some literary license. A little more than a week ago, John and Sharon had the pleasure of speaking at the Pacific Legal Technology Conference in Vancouver, British Columbia. The attendance set a record, which is remarkable in these economic times. So what did folks want to know about? Essential legal technology was a big focus – how to get the best bang for your buck. Going paperless was another topic of great interest. And the very wary crowd wanted to know about Software as a Service (SaaS) and cloud computing. Both speakers and attendees expressed great concern about client confidentiality.
The grand finale was the 60 Tips in 60 Minutes session where Sharon spoke along with conference organizer Dave Bilinsky, Dan Pinnington and Doug Jasinski. As always, the crowd had to keep their seatbelts fastened as the speakers moved at the speed of light dispensing their favorite tips of the year.
Just to give you one such nugget, Sharon’s favorite “find” of the year is a utility called SimplyFile, which works remarkably well at guessing which Outlook folder your e-mail should be filed in. The audience got to hear Sharon rave about all the time it was saving her and John. This might be the best $39.95 they’ve spent – there’s a free 30-day trial, so give it a whirl!
John and Sharon want to thank Dave Bilinsky for inviting them to speak and for the warm and receptive attendees who made the cross-continent trip worthwhile!
