The program is created for corporate counsel of public, private, large, and small companies, non-profits, government, and educational institutions. A designated ticket is available for law firm attorneys not with a GCI sponsor. 

NAWL welcomes all regardless of age, race, ethnicity, color, national origin, religion, ancestry, disability, political affiliation, sexual orientation, gender, gender expression, or gender identity. We recognize and celebrate the value that a vast range of backgrounds, cultures, and professional experiences brings to our community.

We expect this program will be approved for 5-7 CLE credit hours. NAWL will apply for accreditation in Illinois, New York, Texas, and Washington, with reciprocal credit in California, Connecticut, and New Jersey. (Note: In recent years, it's been 5-8 months before we receive approval from New York due to their application process.)

Additional CLE applications may be submitted based on attendee requests. Speaker attendance is not guaranteed and is subject to change without notice.

As we receive approval, credits for each session will be listed in the agenda above.

NAWL will offer scholarship assistance for this conference to a limited number of in-house attorneys, law students, and unemployed attorneys who wish to attend but may not be able to do so due to cost considerations. The financial assistance covers the registration fee for the events on October 14-16, 2025.

The application process requires the applicant to demonstrate their eligibility and to provide a short essay setting forth the reasons why they are an appropriate candidate to receive scholarship funds, including how the conference will benefit them and information regarding financial need.

Applicants should send materials to NAWL's Program Director, Chelsea Robinson, at crobinson@nawl.org. Applications are due by Friday, September 12, 2025.
