The Keynote Speaker will be Jimmie L. McMillian, Senior Corporate Counsel of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Mr. McMillian will discuss his journey from the South Side of Chicago, to Partner at an Am Law 100 firm (which was the subject of New York Times Article), and then to the Speedway. Along the way he learned about the importance of mentorship, the challenges facing black lawyers, and the need to advocate for social justice issues that were important to him. Mr. McMillian will also provide some fascinating facts about his role as senior counsel, and the challenges of hosting the single largest day sporting event in the world (with this year hopefully being the only exception to that distinction).
