USLAW NETWORK proudly announces its 2026 Calendar of Events, a robust year of programming, professional and personal development, relationship building and milestone celebrations that reflect USLAW’s 25-year legacy of collaboration, innovation and client service.
The 2026 calendar features signature events, including the Annual Client Conference in Boston, the Annual Member Meeting in Scottsdale, where USLAW will celebrate its 25th anniversary, and the 20th gathering of the Women’s Connection in Beverly Hills. The year also includes seven practice group forums, specialized transportation industry programming, and expanded opportunities for women’s networking and professional growth.
Signature Events

USLAW’s premier annual event will bring together clients, member attorneys, and corporate partners for three days of collaborative discussion, problem-solving, and peer-driven exchange. The Boston conference will feature conversations on emerging legal and business challenges, interactive panels addressing cross-industry issues, and breakout discussions that encourage candid dialogue between clients and outside counsel. Beyond the structured sessions, the conference is designed to maximize opportunities for high-impact networking, with social events and informal gatherings that foster stronger working relationships and new connections. As the flagship client program of the year, the Annual Client Conference serves as a cornerstone for building trust, exchanging ideas, and advancing innovative approaches to today’s most pressing legal and business issues. - 2026 USLAW Annual Member Meeting & 25th Anniversary Celebration
