| Are you passionate about the future of cooperative enterprise? Do you have insights into innovations, emerging issues, or practical challenges shaping the cooperative landscape through law?
We invite cooperative member-owners, developers, attorneys, accountants, organizers, educators, and advocates to submit proposals for Lightning Talks—dynamic, 5–7-minute presentations—at our upcoming Virtual Cooperative Law Conference on September 23-24, 2025.
This is your chance to spotlight:
- Cutting-edge legal frameworks for cooperative enterprise
- Recent case law or legislative developments
- Tools and strategies for cooperative growth, governance, and alignment
- Cross-sector innovations or interdisciplinary approaches to development, governance, financing, or management
- Innovations in cooperative law from abroad that could help address challenges in the United States
Whether you’re sharing a bold idea, a cautionary tale, or a call to action, we want to learn from you! Let’s spark ideas and grow the cooperative legal community — together.
Hosted by the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences Center for Cooperatives at Ohio State and planned collaboratively by cooperative practitioners, the 2025 Virtual Cooperative Law Conference is a space to grow the knowledge and network of professionals who can support collaborative, community-based, or cooperative enterprises, including professionals expanding their transactional business toolbox who are new to the cooperative model.
