Annual Meeting

WWCDA Annual Attorney Meeting

Every year WWCDA holds an Annual Attorney Meeting for its members, in conjunction with the ABA’s White Collar Crime Institute.  Our WWCDA Meeting, features powerful learning and networking opportunities, and facilitates our Connecting, Collaborating, and Advancing Women in the law. What started out more than two decades ago as a small gathering of women dubbed “Spa Day” has grown into a multi-day programming and networking event that hosts hundreds of women white collar lawyers from around the world.

The meeting has been held in different cities throughout the United States, as well as virtually in 2020 and 2021 due to Covid-19. The meeting continues to grow year after year, and there is consistently a waitlist to attend. As the number of women attending the meeting continues to increase, the programming and events surrounding the meeting have expanded as well.

The meeting is typically a two-day event, which includes association business meetings focused on providing the membership with overviews of the innovative WWCDA activities and initiatives occurring around the world; guided business development and networking programs; a networking cocktail reception; dinner with a keynote speaker; and a breakfast meeting featuring discussions with influential legal industry leaders.
