Conference including sessions on electronic discovery: Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center, 2800 Opryland Dr., Nashville, TN 37214-1297. Estrin LegalEd.

You heard about it in New York….in San  Francisco….and in Atlanta, Los Angeles, Seattle, Boston, Houston, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Orlando, Miami, and other cities around the country.  And it’s happening soon in Nashville at Opryland for paralegals across the U.S.  The Paralegal SuperConference comes to Nashville at Opryland!

The ability to put your best foot forward, communicate effectively, handle any assignment with finesse and skill are not only desirable paralegal skills, but ones that can give you the added benefit of boosting your own self-confidence.

Our career-boosting workshops focus on unlocking your hidden talents and give you cutting-edge information to use with clients, a to-face discussion with your attorney or even negotiating with a vendor. And special workshops are available for the unique challenges paralegals face in the workplace. Whether you are a seasoned vet or new to the field,  there’s a workshop designed to provide you with the powerful, skills and information to get your career–and your attitude–moving in the right direction.

Whether you’re into country music or not, a tour of the palatial Gaylord Opryland with its 85-foot water fountains, 9 acres of indoor gardens and lush, tropical foliage, and winding “rivers,” has become almost obligatory. The resort added a 27,000-square-foot luxurious spa and new fitness center.
The most impressive of the hotel’s numerous areas is the 2-acre Cascade Conservatory, whose roof is a full acre in size and made up of 2,700 glass panes. Waterfalls splash across rocky outcroppings, and fountains dance with colored lights and lasers. Bridges, meandering paths, and a revolving gazebo bar add a certain quaint charm. During the day, you are likely to see acrobats or other performances, if the place weren’t enough to ogle all by itself.  The Magnolia lobby resembles an elegant antebellum mansion, with its classically proportioned double staircase worthy of Tara itself. The 18-hole golf course has two indoor hitting bays, as well as high-tech golf diagnostic equipment to help Palmer hopefuls improve their swing, among other techniques.

All the rooms in the Garden Conservatory have been completely overhauled, many with flat-screen LCD televisions and marble accents in the bathrooms.

Facilities: 15 restaurants and lounges; 3 outdoor pools; golf club; exercise room; children’s daycare; game/video room; concierge; wedding planner services; tour desk; car-rental desk; business center; 16 retail shops; spa and salon; 24-hr. room service; laundry service; dry cleaning; airport shuttle service.

Eary Bird Tuition: (Before January 21): $319.00
Tuition Thereafter:  $395.00
