The PBI Annual Conference is the legal profession’s premier pro bono event tailored to the interests and needs of pro bono leaders at law firms, in-house legal departments, and public interest organizations.
We are delighted to be moving to a new hotel for the PBI 2027 Annual Conference, which allows space for creative and innovative session formats to maximize learning, engagement, and collaboration, as well as traditional panel ideas and structures.
Each year, PBI presents the Laurie D. Zelon Pro Bono Award at the PBI Annual Conference Reception. Occasionally, PBI will also present other awards when warranted by outstanding achievement. Learn more about PBI awards and nomination opportunities here.
To keep the PBI Annual Conference fresh, informative, and thought-provoking, PBI welcomes proposals for concurrent and plenary sessions. PBI especially encourages ideas for workshops, small group discussions, and other interactive programs that will facilitate engaging in-person programming.
The PBI 2027 Annual Conference Call for Proposals has ended.
Please note that PBI does not entertain unsolicited proposals from speakers bureaus or professional paid speakers.
Registration for the PBI 2027 Annual Conference will open in late November 2026. Rates, provided below to inform your budgeting, are the same as last year.
