Mackrell International Americas Emerging Leaders
Houston, Texas. 3rd and 4th September 2026
As you may already be aware, one of your most important commercial assets in any organisation, law firms included, is your professional network.
As an Emerging Leader (EL), building and nurturing your network will be key to your future success, in both legal and business terms.
The beauty of the MI network is that is fast-tracks and facilitates connections between like-minded lawyers and law firms, so you can easily and comfortably build a strong network of peers for support, insight and potential business collaboration.
So, every year, MI provides the opportunity for ELs to meet, connect, learn, grow and establish (or re-establish) foundations for the future. We do not charge a delegate fee – they are a fly in on a Thursday, enjoy a networking drinks and dinner and then a business day on the Friday, packed with useful content and more opportunities to interact with your peers. After that, you’re free to stay on in the host city or head back. All you pay for is flights, accommodation and your drinks tab!
And you get the opportunity to create an invaluable set of connections for yourself for the future.
This year, our first (very international and very successful) EL meeting was held in March in Kuala Lumpur.
Our next stop will be Houston, Texas, thanks to MI member there, Mehaffy Weber: https://www.mehaffyweber.com/
The dates are, Thursday 3rd September for the welcome/networking drinks and dinner and Friday 4th for the full business day.
We are working on the full agenda for you, but for now, petition, get budget approval, mark your calendars and work out how you’re going to get there!
See you in Houston!
