Dear Valued Business Partner,

Please join us at the 2012 ALA Region 1 Conference & Expo in Mashantucket, Connecticut, at the beautiful MGM Grand at Foxwoods, October 18–20. Everything you need to become part of the conference is in the exhibitor prospectus.

The Region 1 Conference & Expo provides business partners with an excellent opportunity to personally connect with legal administrators and functional specialists from law firms, as well as corporate and government legal departments. More often than not, the conference attendees are the decision-makers, selecting the business partners used by their firms for all their legal management needs. Our Exhibit Hall offers an outstanding venue for you to build and cultivate those business relationships and meet face to face with law firm managers. You will have ample time to educate conference attendees about your products and services during Exhibit Hall hours as well as at other networking and social functions planned throughout the two-day event.

Our exhibit hall space sells out quickly, so please take a moment to review the available exhibitor options in this prospectus and select the opportunity that best fits the needs of your organization. Once you have determined which exhibitor level and sponsorship opportunity meet your company’s marketing objectives, complete the application form, enclose your payment and submit by mail or fax as directed on the application form. You may also register online at www.alanet.org/region1/conf.

On behalf of the 2,300 members of Region 1, thank you for your continued support of ALA. Your participation enables us to consistently offer thoughtful and informative conferences that provide legal professionals with the information and knowledge they need to effectively run their offices.

If you have any questions, please contact me at [email protected] look forward to seeing you at Foxwoods!

Sincerely yours,

Mary E. LawsonRegion 1 Business Partner Relations Officer
