Los Angeles, CA -- March 20, 2008 Confirming the value professionals experience from the Legal Marketing Association, President Lisa Simon announced that the March 12-15 annual conference in Los Angeles attracted 1126 attendees, thereby outpacing last year's record-setting number.

Conference co-chairs Aleisha Gravit and Felice Wagner could not have been more pleased with the outcome: "Our goal to elevate our discourse, explore new ideas and challenge the tried-and-true was advanced last week at the conference in Los Angeles. The break-out sessions tested senior marketers, young professionals and service providers alike. Our professional tool boxes runneth over."

Keynote speakers included attorney and human rights advocate Cherie Booth Blair, philanthropist and former studio executive Sherry Lansing and futurist business guru Guy Kawasaki.

President Simon said, "The 2008 conference was an outstanding success; from the sheer number of attendees to the world-class keynoters. In an increasingly competitive profession, the educational programs and workshops provided an opportunity for attendees to learn from foremost thought leaders."

In addition to this instructive programming, the conference provided a unique opportunity for professional services marketers to develop personal ties between themselves as well as service providers. The social calendar highlight was the well-attended bash at The Hollywood Highlands. Conference-goers were greeted at the door by paparazzi and ushered into a thrill-a-minute venue.

Conference co-chairs Gravit and Wagner led a dedicated group of volunteers including Nathan Darling, Rene Kraus, Jeff Reade and LMA President Lisa Simon.
