Call for speakers: 2027 dad, esq. virtual summit
We're excited to announce the Second Annual Dad, Esq. Virtual Summit, happening January 20-21, 2027. This 2-day virtual event brings together Lawyer Dads and the broader Dad, Esq. community from across the U.S. and around the world for conversations on law, parenting, career, and life.
Raising the baR in the age of ai
Our theme

What we're Looking for
Our theme this year is "Better Lawyers, Better Dads: Raising the Bar in the Age of AI."
Artificial intelligence is already reshaping how we practice law and how we raise our kids, often at the same time, in the same day, sometimes in the same hour.
This year's Summit explores what it means to use AI thoughtfully, both at work and at home: where it genuinely helps, where it falls short, and how working parents in the legal profession can stay grounded and present while everything around them moves faster.
We're now accepting proposals for keynotes, panels, workshops, fireside chats, and breakout sessions.
Whether you're a lawyer, coach, entrepreneur, professional expert, or thought leader with a message that resonates with our community, we'd love to hear from you.

We're seeking dynamic speakers, panelists, and facilitators who can share practical insights, inspiring stories, and strategies on topics like:

- Navigating AI as a parent: kids, screens, online safety, and misinformation
- Balancing career and parenting in an AI-driven world
- Mental health and wellness in an age of AI-driven overload
- Time management and productivity: what AI tools can (and can't) do for working parents
- Intentional parenting in a digital, AI-saturated age
- Professional growth and leadership: adapting to AI in the legal industry
- Building stronger relationships at home and in practice, even as AI reshapes both
- Financial planning, health, and lifestyle: using AI tools wisely without over-relying on them

We're planning for two days, January 20-21, 2027, running 11am-3pm ET each day. Sessions may be keynotes, panels, workshops, fireside chats, or breakout sessions, depending on submission volume.
This is a volunteer opportunity. Selected speakers receive a free 2-day Summit pass (including swag), promotional exposure across the Dad, Esq. community, LinkedIn features, and inclusion in Summit materials.
Some sessions may qualify for CLE credit depending on content. We'll work with selected speakers whose sessions involve legal analysis, ethics, or practice-management topics to pursue accreditation.
