Future of Law and Innovation in the Profession (FLIP) Conference
Following last year's success, the Future of Law and Innovation in the Profession (FLIP) Conference and Innovation Dinner returns in 2019 to host more than 50 Australian and international leaders in law, innovation and technology.
Lawyers no longer compete for business against the person down the hall, up the stairs, or across the road, instead competing against people from around the whole world. But, lawyers have access to tremendous resources, unimaginable 20 years ago, which they may access quickly, cheaply, and sometimes for free, enabling them to compete against the whole world—successfully.
Starting 9:35, I will be speaking in The Great Debate: The impending uberisation of the legal profession with Elizabeth Espinosa, President of the Law Society of New South Wales, Sam Flynn, Chief Information Officer of Josef, and Tahlia Gordon, Co-Founder and Co-Director Creative Consequences and Lecturer, Ethics and Professional Responsibility, University of Sydney.
Starting 15:30, I will be speaking about password management: a good password is essential but how do you manage dozens of good passwords and ensure everyone you work with uses them all the time? Learn tools and techniques which satisfy the regulator, the machines, and the people.
Starting 17:30, I will be attending the Innovation Dinner and Networking Reception.
Please come up and introduce yourself.

Australian Bar Association Convergence 2019, Singapore
I will be in Singapore at the Australian Bar Association’s 2019 biennial international conference for litigators—Convergence 2019—coordinating the Meet the Silks program. If you are a junior barrister in your first 7 years of practice, then look forward to a warm welcome throughout the conference, and a dedicated session for you to hear some senior counsel wisdom about practice at the bar to make you a better, happier barrister.
Convergence 2019 will include prominent legal and business professionals from Australia, Hong Kong, and Singapore. The program explores diverse commercial law and litigation topics with sessions delivered by inspiring senior members of the legal profession and business sector, such as the Chief Justices of Australia and Singapore.
It would be a delight to meet you there.

Future of Law and Innovation in the Profession (FLIP) Conference
As a follow up to the FLIP Report 2017, the Law Society of NSW is launching the inaugural Future of Law and Innovation in the Profession (FLIP) Conference and Innovation Awards Dinner. The FLIP Conference is a key event in the legal calendar that will equip the profession with the knowledge and tools needed to survive and thrive in an ever-changing landscape.
“Our members are hungry for information about innovation and technology that will shape the legal industry of the future” Doug Humphreys, President of the Law Society of NSW
Starting 14:20, I will be presenting a panel session in the Legal Innovation & Technology Forum pathway titled "The Paperless Practitioner: Virtual Legal Service Delivery"
"Sole practitioners, small firms, and under-resourced in-house counsel embracing a paperless practice confront unique problems with litigation over comparatively modest amounts of money. Learn the difference between practice management software, software to conduct litigation using less paper, and how to use them together. Leave this session armed with advice about how it can be done from those who have done it before at little or no cost: a judge, a barrister, and a solicitor."
Also on the panel will be:
The Honourable Justice Tim Moore, Land and Environment CourtJessica Der Matossian, Registrar, Digital Practice Principal Registry, Federal Court of Australia Brendan Smart, Chief Executive Officer of LEAP Legal Software, AustraliaRoxanne Hart, Director, of Legal.
