About

Blast Off! is the immigration industry's first-ever conference focused specifically on digital marketing. Immigration firms are businesses too, yet there was no conference that helped immigration professionals grow in today's digital-first society.

Until now.🙌

Blast Off! brings together the most successful social media-savvy immigration lawyers with digital marketing experts from outside the immigration industry to deliver information, fresh insights, actionable tips and inspiration.

Plus, this conference is like no other you've been to. Instead of a static "e-conference" interface, you’ll walk around a beautiful, custom-designed digital world, explore vendors, interact with booths, run into colleagues, and relive much of the magic of in-person conferences.
