Submit your ideas by August 14, 2026

The PBI Annual Conference is the only conference specifically tailored to the interests, needs, resources, and issues faced by pro bono leaders at law firms, in-house departments, and public interest and legal services organizations.

By contributing to the Conference, you can:

• Share innovative ideas, techniques, and successful practices with colleagues;
• Showcase your expertise and leadership;
• Spark new partnerships and collaborations; and
• Help advance the future of pro bono.

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.

Please note that PBI does not entertain unsolicited proposals from speakers bureaus or professional paid speakers.
