Katchr Connect conference 2021
Maximising value from your investment in Katchr

After our virtual conference last year, we’re excited to announce our Connect conference in 2021 will be an actual event!
We’re holding it at Woburn House, Kings Cross in October and can’t wait to meet you all again in person. With many stories and catch ups overdue, it’ll be a great chance to network with other law firms and hear lots of advice and best practice around running a law firm in 2021.
It is an invitation-only event for a special group of law firms. Come along and hear from experts and your peers about how to maximise your value from Katchr. We have created an agenda not to be missed with speakers on law firm management, roundtable discussions and breakout sessions.
A unique benefit of Katchr Connect will be the chance to meet with other law firms using the Katchr products. Find out best practices around using data in finance, legal operations, marketing, HR and sales. We’ll be facilitating roundtable discussions to help you gain industry insights, and you’ll also get to find out our future plans and a software roadmap for 2021 – 22.
