“People will want to be at the live event for the networking, idea exchanges, and also to be recognized as part of the group of forwarding thinking practitioners in the profession,” Zarret said.

Thriving Firm Talks 2013 will feature powerful, short non-commercial presentations (up to 17 minutes) from 11 select thought leaders. The all-star roster is made up of presenters from within and outside the profession, but each one will speak from their heart to enlighten and inspire those in the profession in new ways.
