3 WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT OUR PREVIOUS SOLO & SMALL FIRM TECH CONFERENCES Why work harder when you can work smarter with technology? The evolution of technology is almost too much for practitioners to keep up with. The Florida Bar Tech Show provides you with information you need to know in order to work smarter within your practice. Our topics range from hands-on seminars that teach you how to effectively use Word, Excel and Outlook to seminars that discuss what equipment you should be using in your office to make your life easier. This is an excellent seminar to help you improve your practice. I hope to see you there! ~ Jennifer R. Kuyrkendall 2017 Florida Tech Show Chair Excellent topics. Many meaningful suggestions. Great motivation. Excellent seminar. Probably the best I have been to. The seminar overall was amazing. Looking forward to implementing what I ve learned throughout the year and coming back next year to receive more useful information to grow my practice. I will definitely come to another seminar. It was informative and I got to make many connections. This seminar was one of the best, if not the best, CLE programs I have attended/listened to in my over 20 years as an attorney. The speakers were all excellent, not boring, and actually gave down-to-earth, practical information. I am not tech-savvy by any means but I hope to become more so after listening to this program. I plan to incorporate many of the tips and other information from the seminar as soon as possible into my own work and the work of the staff attorneys and magistrates who work in our court.
