📣 Announcing the Lawyer’s Podcasting Conference – Coming This November
/
At MacStock 2026, during my presentation, “Podcasting with Apple: From Idea to Launch Using the Gear You Already Own”, I explored how lawyer‑hosted podcasts help attorneys educate clients, build authority, and grow their practices. Those insights sparked an idea that I first announced right after my session—and now it’s time to share it with you. 🚀
I’m excited to announce that we’re planning the first Attorneys Podcasting Conference, tentatively scheduled for Friday and Saturday, November 12–13, in the Washington, DC metro area. This event is for solo practitioners, small and midsize firm lawyers, AI‑curious legal professionals, and anyone interested in practical, real‑world legal technology—whether you live in Windows, macOS, or a mix of both.
Why an Attorneys Podcasting Conference?
Legal podcasting sits at the intersection of client development, education, and professional responsibility. A well‑run podcast can support your law‑firm business by:
Showcasing your subject‑matter expertise in ways a static bio never will 😊
Deepening trust with current and prospective clients by explaining complex issues in plain language
Keeping you top‑of‑mind with referrals, colleagues, and community partners
When you publish, you are speaking to the public about legal issues, and that triggers real ethical considerations. Under ABA Model Rule 7.1 (Communications Concerning a Lawyer’s Services), your podcast content must not be false or misleading, including how you describe your experience, results, or fees. Under Model Rule 1.6 (Confidentiality of Information), you must avoid sharing identifiable client information or facts that could reasonably lead to identification—even in anonymized stories. And Model Rule 5.3 (Responsibilities Regarding Nonlawyer Assistance) matters when you engage producers, editors, or marketing vendors to help with your show.
This conference will not only help you start and grow a podcast, it will help you do so ethically, in alignment with your jurisdiction’s version of the ABA Model Rules. ⚖️
What This Conference Is About
lawyer’s learn how to improve your Brand, seo and geo through podcasting!
This event is designed for attorneys who want podcasting to be a strategic business tool, not just a hobby. We’ll focus on:
Why podcasting grows your law‑firm business
We’ll dig into how a consistent, well‑targeted show supports client development, referral relationships, and thought leadership—without violating Rules 7.1 or 7.2 on lawyer advertising.From Hanging a Shingle to Yellow Pages to SEO to GEO
For generations, law‑firm marketing has evolved step by step: you started by hanging a shingle, then moved into Yellow Pages ads, then into websites and search engine optimization (SEO). Today we’re entering a new phase: Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)—how your content is discovered, summarized, and surfaced by AI‑driven tools and generative engines.
In this conference, we’ll talk about where podcasting fits in that progression: how a well‑structured show can support traditional SEO while also positioning you for GEO, so that when clients or referral sources ask AI‑powered tools legal questions in your niche, your expertise is more likely to be surfaced.
How to start the right way
We’ll walk through choosing a niche, format, and editorial calendar; building a workflow that respects your docket; and creating a basic compliance checklist so each episode stays within ethical guardrails.How to grow and sustain your podcast
You’ll learn practical tactics for audience growth, repurposing episodes into blogs and newsletters, and integrating your podcast with email, social media, and AI‑assisted workflows—still mindful of Rule 1.6 when using cloud or AI tools.Tools, tech, and services for Windows and Mac
We’ll explore microphones, interfaces, recording and editing tools, hosting platforms, and production services that work well in both Windows and macOS environments. Whether you’re recording in Audacity on Windows, GarageBand or Logic Pro on Mac, or a web‑based platform, you’ll see realistic, law‑practice‑friendly setups. 💻🖥️
The goal is a practical, hands‑on conference that helps you either launch a podcast or take your existing show to the next level, with clear, concrete connections back to law‑firm business growth and professional responsibility.
Who This Conference Is For
This conference is ideal for:
Lawyers, learn from seasoned podcasters and professionals how to start, ethically operate, and grow your podcast and your law practice!
Solo and small‑firm attorneys who want a cost‑effective, authentic way to reach clients and referral sources
Midsize firm lawyers and practice group leaders who want to align podcasting with broader content and business‑development strategies
AI‑curious legal professionals who want to understand where AI‑driven transcription, summarization, and editing tools fit into podcast workflows, while staying within ethics rules on confidentiality and supervision
Law‑firm marketing and business development professionals responsible for managing risk while helping lawyers stand out
Vendors and sponsors offering equipment, software, production, hosting, AI tools, and marketing services for attorney podcasters
You do not need to be “tech‑forward” to benefit. If you can draft a motion, send an email, and open a file, you can learn this. The goal is to make the technology approachable, not overwhelming.
Windows and Mac: Equal Focus
Although much of my work at The Tech‑Savvy Lawyer ecosystem has featured Apple platforms, this conference explicitly serves users on Windows, Mac, or both:
Demonstrations will include Windows‑friendly tools, Mac‑specific workflows, and browser‑based platforms that live above the OS line.
We’ll highlight cross‑platform best practices, so your workflows survive hardware refreshes, lateral moves, or firm‑wide technology changes.
We’ll talk candidly about IT and security considerations, including how to vet podcast tools under Model Rule 1.1 (Competence) and its comments on technology.
Your podcast should follow you, not the other way around. 😊
Vendors, Sponsors, and Live Recordings
We are building an expo experience that is more than just branded tables and pens:
Vendor booths will include podcast production services, hosting platforms, AI‑assisted tools, microphones and interfaces, and legal marketing consultancies that understand law‑firm constraints.
Sponsors will be able to support the event through traditional tiers and in‑kind contributions such as Wi‑Fi, coffee breaks, breakfast, lunch, or A/V and recording services.
We plan to offer live‑recording opportunities, including:
Reserved slots to record your podcast on‑site
Live episode demos with an audience
Workflow walk‑throughs that highlight both Windows and Mac setups
Throughout, we will keep an eye on confidentiality, consent, and any necessary disclosures to stay within Rules 1.6, 7.1, and 7.2.
