Heading (Slightly more) South: CE21 Brings AI Insights and Austin Innovation to ACLEA Mid-Year 2026

Jan 23, 2026 | Conferences

The River Walk is calling. This February, the ACLEA 62nd Mid-Year Meeting is heading to San Antonio, and as a Texas-based company (Austin), the CE21 team couldn’t be more excited to welcome our colleagues to the San Antonio Marriott Rivercenter.

Whether you are looking for the latest in MCLE compliance technology or curious about how Artificial Intelligence will reshape the legal education landscape, we’ve prepared a weekend full of insights, networking, and a few “local” surprises.

Here is where you can find us from February 7th through the 9th.


Let’s Kick Things Off: Saturday Welcome Reception

There’s no better way to start a conference than with a warm Texas welcome. CE21 is proud to be the official sponsor of the Saturday Welcome Reception on February 7th.

Before the deep-dive sessions begin, join us for a drink and a chance to reconnect. We’ve been a part of the ACLEA community for years, and we know that the best ideas often start with a casual conversation.


Visit the Tech Hub: The CE21 Booth

If you’ve been feeling the “technical headaches” of managing complex CLE programs or state compliance reporting, come chat with us at our trade show booth.

Lisa Wise, our VP of Product, will be there throughout the weekend. If you’ve ever used our platform, you likely know Lisa – she handles “everything product” with an eye towards what makes organizations, including legal associations, successful. Joining her on Sunday will be Jax James (Client Success and Engagement Manager) and Clint McBride (Client Success Team Lead).

Stop by to see how we’re simplifying the attorney experience with:

  • Automated MCLE Reporting: Ditch the manual spreadsheets.
  • ABA Integration: With this integration, your course completions are automatically reported to the ABA, saving time, reducing manual work, and delivering a better user experience.
  • Digital Affidavits & Verification: Ensure compliance with random participation prompts.
  • Hybrid Event Success: Learn how we use QR codes and mobile tools to streamline in-person check-ins while simultaneously broadcasting to your virtual audience.


The Main Event: AI Advancements in CLE Organizations

The biggest buzzword in legal tech right now is AI, but what does it actually mean for your organization? On Monday, February 9th at 2:30 PM, our very own Craig Harris will be presenting:

“AI Advancements in CLE Organizations: Unveiling Current Innovations and Future Possibilities”

This isn’t just a high-level overview. Craig will dive into the practical applications of AI in the CLE space, from content curation to improving member engagement. If you want to see where the industry is heading in 2026 and beyond, this is a session you cannot afford to miss.


Capturing the Moment

One of the things that makes our Austin-based CE21 team unique is our collective versatility. We are a group of tech innovators who aren’t afraid to step into any role to ensure a project’s success. Whether it’s Reid Stillings from our leadership team overseeing the high-stakes production recording a keynote or our Client Success team managing the flow of the trade show floor, we bring a 360-degree perspective to every ACLEA event.


See You in San Antonio!

We are proud of our Austin roots, and we can’t wait to share our passion for legal education technology with you in San Antonio.
