Legal Horizons: Las Vegas Retreat
The South Asian Bar Association (SABA) hosted its annual Corporate Counsel Retreat to bring together senior legal professionals from across the country for a weekend of meaningful networking and thought leadership. Set in Las Vegas—a city known for its energy, luxury, and accessibility—the event offered the perfect mix of professional programming and relaxed social engagement.

Balancing formal panel content with informal networking opportunities
Designing a flow that supported multiple types of interaction (large-group, small-group, and one-on-one)
Managing logistics across multiple venues and activity types, from receptions to dine-arounds to golf outings
Ensuring every moment felt seamless, intentional, and high-touch for a discerning legal audience.

The Result
