The agenda for the LSC TIG Conference hasn't been announced yet, but like previous years, it's expected to be filled with great information. In addition to the conference, LSC TIG staff have been planning a week full of activities, including a document assembly training hosted by Pro Bono Net on January 11 and 12 and the MIE National Conference for Legal Services Administrators on January 12 and 13.

This is another unconference, but this one is for people interested in using social media to create networked communities. Randi Zuckerberg, who is responsible for Creative & Buzz Marketing, Politics, and Social Change at Facebook, and Amanda Rose, the Twestival Co-Founder, will be keynoting. (Cost: $47.12. Register here.)
And a couple of conferences that have already happened but have materials that are worth checking out.
- TedxMidAtlantic - Videos from the MidAtlantic version of TED are now available. (TED is known for "Riveting talks by remarkable people, free to the world.") I recommend Sonja Sohn's talk, but then again, I'm a huge fan of both Baltimore and The Wire.
- Facebook, Twitter & Blogging...Oh MySpace! - The Pennsylvania Bar Institute brought together lawyers to talk about social networking and media. You can see the tweets from the event.
