The Pro Bono Institute (PBI) 2025 Annual Conference is the legal profession’s premier pro bono event tailored to the interests and needs of pro bono leaders at law firms, in-house legal departments, and public interest organizations.

This year’s Conference will include staples such as: Law Firm Pro Bono 101; Roundtable for Experienced Pro Bono Professionals; Managing Risks of In-House Pro Bono; Public Interest Exchange, and more!

We are also planning interactive sessions and workshops covering a variety of current and emerging topics that impact law firms, in-house departments, and public interest organizations. In addition, networking opportunities will include the Welcome Reception, the Pro Bono EXPO, luncheons, breakfasts, and the presentation of PBI’s 2025 Laurie D. Zelon Pro Bono Award and 2025 Chesterfield Smith Award at the Conference Reception on Thursday evening.

Many sessions will offer CLE credit.
