For more than 20 years, I've run the DEH Speaker Series (formerly under the names Flex-Time Lawyers and Law & Reorder). The DEH Speaker Series is a quarterly programming series where I interview and moderate conversations with New York Times best-selling authors, TED speakers and thought leaders. The quarterly events draw up to 1,000 participants from companies, law firms and non-profits worldwide. The program topics vary and generally fall into three categories: careers/workplaces, women/diversity and law. Here’s my 2 ½ Minute Sizzle Reel that includes video clips of the DEH Speaker Series to give you a sense of how they work.
We are excited to be expanding our DEH Speaker Series membership offerings to three types:
Access to the Next 4 Consecutive Events by Unlimited Online Webcast for 1 Year
Access to the Next 4 Consecutive Events by Unlimited Online Webcast for 1 Year PLUS Access to All 16 Former Archived Events by Unlimited Online Access for 1 Year
Access to All 16 Former Archived Events by Unlimited Online Access for 1 Year
Due to COVID-19, the DEH Speaker Series is currently being offered exclusively online and membership options do not include in-person participation. When social distancing restrictions are removed, if it makes sense to return to in-person programming, we will resume in-person events at the same rate for existing members and continue to offer the events by webcast. With the new exclusive online offerings, all members will be able to access the webcast events individually from any location. Many organizations purchase corporate memberships to supplement their internal professional development, women’s initiatives and/or diversity programming. With the future of travel, work-at-home parameters, conferences, meetings, and social gatherings still in limbo, access to meaningful programming and connection remains limited and the DEH Speaker Series can fill these gaps now more than ever. To learn more about the new Archived Access that we’re offering and to access 16 of our former events, click here.
Here’s a corporate invoice and an individual invoice that outlines the new offerings and payment terms.Click here to purchase one of the membership offerings online. You can also pay by check as outlined in the invoices.

A corporate membership to the DEH Speaker Series is an excellent resource for organizations with committees, professionals or administrators who want to keep abreast of issues relating to careers, workplaces, women and law. Many organizations purchase corporate memberships to supplement internal professional development, women’s initiatives and/or diversity programming. With the new exclusive online offerings, all members will be able to access four consecutive webcast events individually from any location. In addition to purchasing membership to the next four consecutive events, you can also purchase access to 16 of our archived events. To join the DEH Speaker Series and select from a variety of corporate membership options, please download the corporate invoice.
An individual membership to the DEH Speaker Series gives you access to four consecutive, webcast quarterly events. In addition to purchasing membership to the next four consecutive events, you can also purchase access to 16 of our archived events. Individual memberships are non-transferable, meaning that only the individual who joins can use the membership and participate in the DEH Speaker Series. Professionals are encouraged to submit their membership invoices for reimbursement as organizations typically reimburse for membership as a business development and/or professional development expense. To join the DEH Speaker Series and select from a variety of individual membership options, please download the individual invoice.
In addition to the four consecutive events and archived events, the DEH Speaker Series provides members with a distribution of topical articles, access to dynamic guest speakers, and information about legal industry trends. It also contributes to a cause that is effecting positive change for women in general and the legal profession.
