The greens
of Spring in Vermont are as varied as the fall foliage colors. Maybe they are so beautiful because we have
had to feast on browns, greys and whites exclusively for so many months. May is special because of the greens, but
perhaps it is most special because of the Smolo? Loyal Solo & Small Firm
Conference attendees will agree that there’s nothing like it anywhere and that
it is truly spectacular. Those who
missed it will have missed the greens of Basin Harbor and will certainly be
green with envy.
One comment
we often receive about our “big” meetings –the annual and mid-year meetings—is that
there never seems to be enough time to network amidst all the CLE offerings.
Not so much at the Smolo! The networking opportunities were plentiful. Some brave attendees even went on the rainy
cold lake cruise and learned about Lake Champlain while enjoying its
beauty.
Although the
resort has stepped up its wireless strength, people seemed so focused that they
were rarely on their phones. The small
seminars allowed people to be fully engaged and sharing stories rather than
checking emails and the clock. With such a gorgeous and relaxing setting,
people couldn’t help but learn, network, share and smile. Even the canine attendees were relaxed. And let’s not forget the food! In just one of
the lunch buffets, we had delicious seafood salad, pasta salad, tomato salad,
strawberry salad, reubens, sandwich makings, eggplant parmesan AND fried
chicken! And all the other meals and desserts were equally fabulous.
At the
networking reception, more established lawyers were paired with newer lawyers
to discuss anything from practice successes and failures, favorite apps, best
law movies, outdoor activities and so much more. People made real connections and had fun
while doing it. We’ve already gotten
great feedback from our law practice management and wellness seminars. Many thanks to our sponsors who helped make the event possible.
Don’t be
green, be there for our next Smolo!
