How did those who attended enjoy CYOC? It was my first time I really enjoyed some of the panels. I didn't really get to network and mingle because I'm going through things with my career and my head wasn't in it.

Loved it and will be going every year hopefully. I think the networking aspect has the potential to help you get through whatever it is you’re going through actually. I like to think of it as more relationship building than “networking working”. 9 times out of 10 there’s someone going through the same thing or similar. At the end of the day, the goal is to be with your people and in an environment where you are not as isolated as you may feel at work. Future business relationships and even close friendships will ofcourse be a by product of that.

Who should attend this conference? I’ve heard about it here, but don’t know much else.

Lawyers of color (but doesn’t have to be per se, that’s just the typical make up). Can be in house, private practice, government or a legally adjacent business (such as legal recruiting). Also good for both junior and senior lawyers.

Couldn’t make it this year, but definitely would like to attend this one day!

Didn't make it this year but highly recommend.

Why would a luxury watch brand make/sell connected or smart watches? What is the business reason for it? To me it just kills the brand value.

This bowl was originally created for black attorneys in big law, but since it’s the only bowl for black attorneys, many black attorneys in other sectors have joined. Some people are apprehensive about starting another bowl for all black attorneys because it will take away from this bowl. Assuming that the conversations & topics will stay the same, What are you thoughts on keeping this bowl solely for black in big law verses Opening this bowl to any black lawyer?

So, the CDC removed the Covid guidelines. I’ve never had Covid. I’m afraid people will come into work not wearing a mask and be inconsiderate… ughhh so distracting and disgusting. I’m also at risk to develop complications. Not sure if I should talk to HR. Not even sure if I should ask for accommodations to continue being able to wfh at least most days of the week to reduce risk. Idkkkk 😩This is so unprecedented. I always wear my mask at work.
