Highlights from This Year’s Conference
This year’s ABOTA National Conference offered a variety of immersive experiences alongside traditional educational sessions:
LBJ Presidential Library: Step back in time to explore President Lyndon B. Johnson’s distinctive Presidential collection, complete with a replica of the Oval Office. The LBJ Library transports attendees to the era of Civil Rights Reform and early space travel. Our reception, set to the tunes of Austin’s Blue Dot Swing, created an unforgettable evening of history and camaraderie.
Texas State Capitol: Standing taller than the United States Capitol, the Texas State Capitol is one of the nation’s most distinguished state capitols. Attendees enjoyed exclusive, behind-the-scenes tours and a special address by Texas dignitaries, providing insight into the state’s legislative history and traditions.
Late Night Libations at Butler Snow LLP: Attendees walked just one block from the Texas State Capitol to the rooftop of the SXSW Building, taking in spectacular views of the Austin skyline. The evening featured great conversation, music, light fare, and specialty Austin drinks – a perfect opportunity for ABOTA trial attorneys and trial lawyers to mingle and unwind.
Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum: One of the finest museums in Texas, the Bullock Museum showcased the heart of Texas history under the Great Star of Texas. Special guest, the Honorable Kay Bailey Hutchison, addressed ABOTA attendees. With heavy hors-d’oeuvres, libations, live music by Gus Miller, and first-person storytelling, the museum provided an evening rich in Texas history and culture.
