The 2026 Lunch Hour Legal Marketing Summit has come to an end, but boy, oh boy, did we capture some great questions in our live episode recording at the Acme Feed & Seed! To rub the FOMO in a little deeper for all those who skipped this year’s event, we have a special taste of the energy and thought-provoking inquiries we discussed on stage in Nashville to a packed and sweaty group of lawyers and in-house marketers.
Gyi and Conrad tackle the news events of the week before going straight to some heated (literally) Q&A with our guests. If you missed the event, the outpouring of photos and accolades on social media are fantastic, but they still don’t quite capture the energy that we felt in that room with our special community. It was a magical week filled with mythical creatures and t-shirt cannon assaults. You just had to be there.
We want to give a special thank you to everyone who joined us in Nashville last week! We are truly grateful that you spent your time with us, and we hope you walked away feeling confident that you made the right choice in traveling to spend the week at the Gyi and Conrad show.
Thank you to our incredible sponsors, without whom the event would not have been quite as successful: Juvo Leads, Lawmatics, CallRail, ALPS Lawyers’ Insurance, and our newest addition the LHLM Sponsors, Eve!
