Sentiments on the Reality of a Virtual Event
Last week, as the 55th annual Heckerling Institute on Estate Planning concluded, I took a few moments to reflect on the conference which, like many events, was different this year. All of the presentations were virtual, with the presenters streaming from their respective locations and all of us in the audience watching from the relative comfort of our homes or offices (or, in many cases, home offices). InterActive Legal was present at our “booth” in the virtual exhibit hall, and I have to give proper credit to our Marketing team for creating a digital space that was both visually appealing and informative.

Vanessa Kanaga currently serves as InterActive Legal’s Special Advisor on Estate Planning and Legal Strategy. She is the former CEO of InterActive Legal.
