8am Announces Its Second Annual Kaleidoscope Conference in Las Vegas

Headlined by Savannah Bananas founder Jesse Cole, Kaleidoscope 2026 brings legal professionals 15 CLE credit hours, hands-on workshops, and dedicated networking

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--8am™, the professional business platform purpose-built for the needs of legal, accounting, and client-focused professionals, today announced Kaleidoscope 2026, the company’s annual conference taking place September 22-24 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Over three days, attendees will learn about innovative strategies and solutions to run stronger firms and stay ahead of the changes reshaping the legal industry.

Now in its second year, Kaleidoscope provides legal professionals with the opportunity to earn 15 or more hours of CLE credit while learning from one another and exploring the trends defining the profession’s next chapter. Programming spans executive and guest keynote presentations, dedicated networking opportunities, and interactive breakout sessions that deliver actionable insights professionals can apply to strengthen their firms and client relationships. Attendees will also get a first look at 8am’s newest innovations shaping how modern firms grow and succeed.

"Legal professionals are reimagining what a modern practice looks like, using AI and connected technology to work smarter and create better client experiences," said Jeff Hughes, Chief Executive Officer, 8am. “Kaleidoscope brings together the ideas, technology, and community to enable each of them to meet this pivotal moment with confidence. The programming is peer-driven, the conversations are honest, and the sessions are designed around the real challenges firms face today."

Headlining Kaleidoscope 2026 is Jesse Cole, creator of Banana Ball and founder of the Savannah Bananas, who will share how reinvention and a customer-obsessed mindset turned a small franchise into a viral, global phenomenon. The conference’s broader lineup of speakers spotlights legal professionals at the forefront of some of the industry’s most talked-about cases and emerging areas of law including:

• Todd Spodek, the New York criminal defense attorney who represented Anna Delvey, who will explore the ethical landmines attorneys face when a case goes viral;
• Emily Lekahal, Assistant General Counsel for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who will sit down for an exclusive fireside chat on the legal strategy behind professional sports; and
• Charles Mudd, Principal Attorney at Mudd Law, who will provide a fascinating look into the world of space law.

"We built Kaleidoscope around what legal professionals told us they actually need: real conversations, practical sessions, and a community worth coming back to," added Nate Skinner, Chief Marketing and Sales Officer, 8am. "This year in Las Vegas, that means 25-plus breakout sessions, more than 15 hours of CLE credit, and a keynote from Jesse Cole, who turned the Savannah Bananas into a global brand by putting the fan experience above everything else. The parallel to how today's best firms approach client relationships is hard to ignore."
