2026 LMANE Philadelphia Lunch & Learn with ALM

Thursday, May 7 | 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. ET

If you work in legal marketing, this is the room you want to be in.

Join LMA Philadelphia and ALM’s executive team for an insider-level Lunch & Learn built for marketers who want to stay ahead of the legal industry’s rapid shifts. From client expectations and law firm performance to innovation, growth trends, and what’s shaping 2026, this conversation will deliver the intelligence legal marketers need right now.

This is more than a local Philadelphia program, it’s a regional opportunity to tap into high-value market intelligence across Philadelphia, New York, Pittsburgh, and Boston. ALM will share proprietary data, insights from managing partner surveys, client sentiment, and intelligence reports across key markets, giving attendees a rare look at how firms performed in 2025 and where the industry is headed next.

Whether you’re leading strategy, business development, brand, communications, or client growth initiatives, you’ll leave with real data, sharper market perspective, and actionable takeaways you can bring back to your firm immediately.

And for those outside Philadelphia, this is the perfect reason to make the trip. Spend the morning gaining high-level industry insight, then use the rest of the day to connect with colleagues in your Philadelphia office. It’s a smart investment in both professional development and internal relationship building.

Can’t make it in person? A live Zoom option will also be available, so you can still join the conversation from wherever you are.

Come ready with questions, this will be an interactive, candid discussion with one of the industry’s most trusted data and intelligence teams.
