The National Conference of Bar Presidents (NCBP) 2014 Annual Meeting was a gathering of current and former bar leaders aimed at enhancing the effectiveness of bar associations and the legal profession. The event took place in Boston, Massachusetts, and featured a series of sessions, workshops, and networking opportunities designed to address pressing issues facing the legal community.

Key topics covered during the meeting included the role of bar associations in addressing social issues, strategies for engaging new generations of lawyers, and discussions on legal education reform. Sessions such as "To Speak Out or Not to Speak Out: That is the Question" explored whether bar associations should take positions on controversial issues, while workshops like "Targeting the New Generations of Lawyers" focused on membership efforts toward law students and new lawyers.

The meeting also provided practical details such as the NCBP First-timers Breakfast, which welcomed newcomers and introduced them to mentors, and the NCBP/NABE/NCBF Joint Awards Luncheon, where award winners were announced. Additionally, the event featured plenary sessions on topics like threats to self-regulation of the profession and updates on legal education reform.
