Dad, Esq. Virtual Summit Speaker Proposal Submission

We’re excited to announce the Second Annual Dad, Esq. Virtual Summit on January 20-21, 2027. This 2-day virtual event will bring 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.

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 invite proposals for keynotes, panels, workshops, fireside chats, and breakout sessions that inspire, equip, and connect our community.

Please complete your submission by Thursday, September 10, 2026.

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

Using AI at work: efficiency, ethics, and risk in legal practice

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

If 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.
