We’re happy to announce that the Florida Bar has approved We Robot 2016 for 25.0 credits of General CLE, including 3.5 Ethics credits. One more reason for lawyers to attend!
On March 31, We Robot 2016 will host four workshops designed by experts to help people from other disciplines get up to speed in their specialty. We hope these workshops will be attended by people who want to learn about the topics, and by people willing to share their expertise with both experts and neophytes. We […]
