A blend of panel discussions, live polling, breakout sessions, and networking over two days.

It helped to know that I am not alone and that there are other like-minded women leaders out there.

The Managing Partner Forum is a go-to resource for not only what’s currently important to law firm leaders, but how law firm leaders are dealing with the issue of the moment and preparing for those of the future.

We have enjoyed working with John Remsen and his talented team. The Managing Partner Forum provides excellent content that truly assists in operating a successful business in today’s challenging environment.

The MPF programs always provide relevant, timely educational content. They are high energy and interactive which makes them fun to attend, too.

Great conference, thank you for the invitation.

The information sharing at the MPIEs is especially valuable.

My partner and I really enjoyed the conference and we look forward to attending again next year.

Connecting with other firm leaders, as it felt more like a ‘retreat’ than a ‘conference.’ Fantastic format allowed for great information and advice sharing.

I go to a lot of conferences, and your event is the one I look forward to and gain the most from each year. The power of this group is incredible. So privileged to be a part of it. Thank you for what you do for our industry.

ATL was a great time, and I really enjoyed the conference, as always.

That was my first experience at the conference, and it was tremendously valuable.

Great job! Keep it going. Thank you for the excellent work you do for the profession.

The collegiality and brainstorming opportunities can’t be beat.

The MPF Conference is always a great event. The MPIEs and Workshops were really good this year.


The program topics are timely and well presented. Every time I attend, I learn something new.

MPF is on top of the issues facing firm leaders, often before we even see them coming in our own firms, and provides timely advice from industry experts to see us through them.

I highly recommend the MPF Leadership Conference. I’ve participated many times, as have several of my partners. We leave with new ideas and fresh perspectives every time.

Hands down the best leadership conference for managing partners I’ve ever attended.

This is my 12th or 13th time attending, and it’s always the best conference I attend every year.

The MPIEs are interesting, informative and very useful!

I look forward to this Conference every year. It really helps me to be a more effective firm leader.

MPF provides tremendous value and excellent resources. Great information. Great speakers. Great networking opportunities.

The preliminary agenda for The MPF 2026 Fall Symposium is presented below. Participants valued the high-level, interactive format and, each year, we introduce new faculty to keep our content fresh.
We will open this year’s Fall Symposium - Empowering Women in Law Firm Leadership - with opening remarks from our co-hosts, as well as a few live polling questions and panel discussion with selected faculty members.
