Avvo, Inc. (www.avvo.com), the world’s largest legal directory, will host the Avvocating Conference, a two-day advanced online marketing training for lawyers seminar focused on social media trends, online marketing strategies and online reputation management issues impacting the legal industry.
“Instead of lawyers talking to each other about online marketing and social media, we decided to bring together the biggest names driving online marketing. It’s an impressive group that has never before assembled for only lawyers, and we are humbled to have them all here,” said Mark Britton, Avvo Founder and CEO. “Lawyers can expect to hear forward-thinking yet practical advice they can apply to their own marketing initiatives. Our goal is to shed light on new topics, discuss legal marketing challenges, share ideas and ultimately provide an experience that will last beyond the two day conference.”
