Legalweek’s Post

An Update From ALM regarding the highly inappropriate behavior at unaffiliated venues in New York City during Leagalweek 2024: In the weeks since Legalweek, ALM has taken the following measures to reinforce its commitment to the safety of its conference attendees and bolster its zero tolerance policy of harassment of any kind: - Every conference attendee – speaker, sponsor, exhibitor, delegate – must affirm ALM’s anti-harassment policy during conference registration.  - ALM’s anti-harassment policy will be printed on the back of every conference badge. - ALM is rolling out revised sponsor and exhibitor contract terms and conditions that more strongly state ALM’s anti-harassment stance as it relates to sponsor- and exhibitor-company attendees.  - In advance of its next event in the legal industry, ALM is rolling out a “speak up” technology solution in an effort to deter inappropriate behavior and facilitate incident reporting.  ALM will continue to work internally and with external stakeholders in the community to determine how we can best champion meaningful, positive change for the legal community and address the larger problem in the industry.
