Please join us for the ACC-WI 2023 Annual Conference & Meeting of Members!  

This 1.5-day event provides 27-Sessions of CLE programming for you to choose from, including 2.0 hours of Ethics, and is specifically designed for you as an in-house attorney.  Our registration format allows you to customize your program schedule to fit your practice needs. Conference registration includes a one-night hotel stay (Early Bird Registration); the continental breakfast, luncheon and keynote speaker, and cocktail reception Thursday; the hot breakfast buffet on Friday; and a variety of networking events at the conference. All paid registrants enjoy free attendance at our Fall 3.0 Ethics Seminar.

As lawyers and educators, Squire Patton Boggs labor and employment lawyers Carmen Cole and Katharine Liao know that proactive counsel on topics such as Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) is essential for avoiding disputes, as well as maintaining a positive and productive culture at work. This CLE program will not only tackle how to effectively identify and address bias in the workplace, from explicit to unconscious biases, but how to work toward solutions in light of the latest research and case law. Our session will do a deep dive on implicit biases, and emphasize the value of diversity, equity and inclusion at the workplace, while at the same time accounting for differences in communication, humor and management style for diverse teams.
