Seventeen workshops and two plenary sessions are planned.
  
The Keynote Address will be delivered at the Luncheon Plenary & Awards Ceremony by Judge Penny Brown Reynolds of Family Court with Judge Penny.  Bringing an authentic new voice to daytime television, and an inspiring new perspective to the court show genre, the Honorable Penny Brown Reynolds presides over the freshman court series, Family Court with Judge Penny, drawing on her legal and personal background to address the conflicts faced by families in America.
