The summit, established by Phillips & Associates managing partner William K. Phillips and COO Vanessa Keys, focuses on the specific challenges of plaintiff-side employment law. By concentrating on sexual harassment, retaliation, and discrimination, the event aims to move beyond general legal theory into practical litigation tools, including damages modeling and the use of digital evidence.

Building on the 2026 conference held at the Eden Roc, the 2027 program will emphasize collaborative knowledge sharing among attorneys from across the country. With firms increasingly navigating complex issues like responsible AI integration in discovery and evolving state-level retaliation laws, the summit serves as a dedicated space for practitioners to exchange tactics. According to Christina Cheung of Allred, Maroko & Goldberg, the specialized nature of the summit provides a level of expertise rarely found in broader legal gatherings.

Phillips & Associates, which has handled nearly 2,000 litigated cases and recovered over $360 million for employees, continues to position the event as a vital resource for those holding large corporations accountable. Registration for the upcoming sessions is currently open through the official summit website.
