What the 8am Immigration Report actually shows

The headlines don't tell the full story. This session breaks down the real numbers behind caseload growth, processing backlogs, and shifting enforcement priorities, and what they mean for the clients sitting across from you. Whether you're advising individuals or corporate HR teams, you'll leave with a clearer picture of where things stand and where they're headed.


AI is already in immigration practice. Here's how attorneys are using it

From petition drafting to policy monitoring, immigration attorneys are finding practical ways to apply AI without sacrificing accuracy. This session goes beyond the hype to cover what's actually working in high-volume practices today, including how firms are structuring oversight, catching errors, and scaling work that used to require significantly more time.
