The State Bar of Texas 2022 Annual Meeting was truly one for the books.  This year’s meeting featured a handful of extraordinary keynote speakers, engaging session topics, dozens of CLE opportunities, and a great lineup of vendors and entertainment. 

Hosted at the Marriott Marquis Houston, this year’s State Bar venue offered plenty for participants and guests to do; including the hotel’s infamous rooftop pool and lazy river, as well as Houston’s incredible downtown dining and entertainment scene. After a nearly two year hiatus, the entire State Bar Meeting was buzzing with people glad to be in-person again and reconnecting with close colleagues, partners, industry professionals and friends.
