Alexakis on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. at the Dirksen Federal Building in downtown Chicago.

Open exclusively to FBA member attorneys who are under 40 or have fewer than 10 years of legal experience, the program is limited to 12 participants to encourage meaningful conversation.
