2022 ALPMA Summit
We are back for 2022!
31 August – 2 September 2022 | RACV Royal Pines, Gold Coast
The 2022 ALPMA Summit Reaching New Heights was held from August 31st to September 2nd at the beautiful RACV Royal Pines, Gold Coast. Delegates and partners were treated to the return of the most prominent legal management conference in the Southern Hemisphere.
Given the events of the past two years, and the inevitable postponement of our 2020 and 2021 Summits, this year we embraced the opportunity to completely reimagine the delivery of our annual flagship event. This year was something quite different with a pre-arrival Corporate Golf Day in the afternoon of Tuesday 30 August, followed in the evening by a Welcome Back Cocktail Function for delegates hosted by Principal Partner, Dye & Durham. From Wednesday to Friday delegates were treated to three days of workshops, seminars, motivational speakers, well-being sessions and working groups all focusing on legal practice management fundamentals. To compliment the learning and development program, delegates also had the opportunity to meet with and hear from over 40 legal industry partners & suppliers and enjoy a full program of networking and social activities, including the ALPMA Awards dinner on Thursday night.
We were delighted to reconnect with all our members and partners after so long and we are confident it was the Best. Summit. Ever.
We were excited to take advantage of the impressive range of facilities and onsite areas within the RACV Royal Pines Resort. From Golf Days to casual food truck dining, to hosted networking breakfasts around the Resort, this Summit delivered a unique and memorable experience for delegates.
If you were not able to join us in 2022 we’d love to see you at the 2023 ALPMA Summit!
Program
The Summit program offered over 25 sessions to attend across 3 days, including workshops, seminars and panel discussions covering: HR, Marketing, Business Development, IT/Legal Technology, Strategy & Innovation, Operations, Finance, and Leadership.
At the core of our planning is our desire to reconnect our members, colleagues, partners and industry professionals at this three-day in-person Summit on the Gold Coast. The ALPMA 2022 Summit program featured keynote speakers, workshops, plenary concurrent sessions, panel discussions, and a well-being session.

Summit Research: Reaching New Heights
ALPMA and principal partner Dye & Durham are excited to share the findings of the recent research conducted on the Australian & New Zealand legal landscape. This research explored key themes and trends influencing the legal community and how firms are adapting to rapid changes in the legal landscape and to establish a benchmark for firms who are falling behind.
Read the report and find out about the latest trends and sentiments of the profession to help you shape your future firm.
It is undeniable that the legal industry is rapidly transforming to respond to the challenges of digitisation, competitive markets, time scarcity and human resources. But, how prepared are Australasian law firms for these challenges, and how can the industry move forward with confidence?
These questions have brought together two industry leaders: Dye & Durham and the Australasian Legal Practice Management Association (ALPMA). This partnership has delved deep into this topic to gain important insights through an Australasian-wide research project involving 160 law firms.
