2018 Winter Meeting

November 28, 2018

M.A. in a Day

Masters degrees in programs like Organizational Leadership, Adult Learning, Organizational Psychology, EduTech, and more, are becoming more common in the legal PD field and professional services more widely. How are these concepts being leveraged in other progressive industries? What are the current and future opportunities for these concepts in law firms? 

A day is certainly not enough time to replicate a graduate education, but just enough to introduce attendees to the types of programs our members have pursued; provide a foundation of concepts, lingo, and applications; and offer ideas for continued learning. We’ll look to leaders outside the legal industry and hear from new faces within our own PDC community. Attendees will choose their own “deep dive” among concurrent afternoon sessions to explore relevant industry topics like organizational coaching, leadership and technology. Sessions will focus on practical takeaways and opportunities to interact. 

Join us for this one-day intensive as we explore new areas and new ideas, while connecting with friends new and old.
