Vocalmeet Presents at ACLEA’s 62nd Mid-Year Meeting: AI Beyond the Hype

February 17, 2026

Vocalmeet was a proud attendee at the Association for Continuing Legal Education (ACLEA)’s recent 62nd Mid-Year Meeting (held February 7–9 in San Antonio, Texas).

This year’s theme, “Celebrating CLE, Community, and Change”, sparked engaging conversations around the evolving role of continuing legal education (CLE) in the industry’s rapidly changing landscape.

As a long-time supporter of CLE innovation, Vocalmeet welcomed the opportunity to connect with bar leaders, program directors, and legal education professionals from across North America. Thank you to everyone who stopped by Booth #6 to say hello! We appreciated every conversation and were thrilled to learn more about your goals for the year ahead.

One of the highlights of the meeting was the workshop we hosted on Sunday, February 8:

AI Beyond the Hype: What Today’s Systems Can’t Do (and Why That Matters for Legal Organizations)

Our session was designed to help professionals cut through the noise around artificial intelligence to address real-world considerations for CLE providers, including considerations like:

• Why today’s AI tools often generate likely (but not necessarily correct) responses
• The risks of over-reliance on centralized platforms
• Challenges with accuracy, transparency, and data control
• How to approach the use of AI responsibly in your organization

We aimed to encourage a thoughtful, grounded approach to AI adoption, prioritizing ethics, context, and long-term strategy.

“It was a pleasure to connect with so many CLE leaders and help demystify the current state of AI,” said Dr. Laurelle Jno Baptiste, Chief Implementation Officer at Vocalmeet.

“There’s enormous potential in these tools, but there are also important limitations to be aware of,” added Marcus Thraen, CEO. “Our goal was to empower legal educators with clear, practical insight so they can move forward with confidence.”

As CLE continues to evolve, Vocalmeet remains committed to supporting legal organizations with technology that’s scalable, secure, and built for the unique needs of the field.

To everyone who joined us in San Antonio: thank you! We look forward to continuing the conversation soon. And, if we didn’t get the chance to connect during the event, we’re happy to discuss online.
