if that is the case then why couldn't a session during the regular
conference be done that addresses issues common to these type of
businesses not just the legal profession? we're talking consultancies,
engineering firms, medical practices, any type of LLP/LLC could learn
from what happens in the Legal RM field.

The word 'myopic' springs to mind when discussing issues such as
these. We become so narrowly focused on our own industry that we fail
to realize that our troubles/issues might be similar to someone else's
in an entirely different field. This is where the idea of paradigm
shifting or 'thinking outside of the box' comes into play.
