The Future is Clear: Stenography’s Growth as a High-Earning Career Takes Center Stage at 2025 Fearless Stenographers Conference

Fearless Stenographers Conference, one of the most prominent court reporter, captioner, and legal conferences of the year, returns to the historic and vibrant city of New Orleans April 10-12, 2025. This year’s conference promises to be a curated gathering of lawyers across the country for three days of learning and advocacy. With a focus on personal and professional development, The Fearless Stenographers Conference 2025 is organized to support and advance the Stenographer community and other court reporting professions. A mixture of networking and education is expected for guests while listening to New Orleans Cajun music and sampling Cajun hors d’oeuvres and cocktails.

Event Founder Shaunise Day is thrilled to host the Fearless Stenographer Conference in the City of New Orleans. She has hosted a conference across the United States with the goal of providing students and professionals with an alternative career path and the tools and educational resources to excel in the fast-paced industry. As the cost of higher education continues to soar, more people are increasingly shying away from standard 4-year college degree programs and exploring alternative career pathways that offer financial relief and high earning potential. According to the Education Data Initiative, the average cost of a four-year college degree in the United States is $35,551 per year, totaling over $140,000 upon graduation. In contrast, a two-year stenography program averages $5,000 to $20,000 in tuition, making it a fraction of the cost. Organizations such as the National Court Reporters Association (NCRA) offer a free Certified Legal Videographer Specialist (CLVS) certification program as an introduction to the field, which allows for aspiring stenographers to try before you buy. This initiative opens doors for people to explore what the field has to offer without accumulating student loan debt. The Stenography career path often leads to salaries exceeding $60,000 to $100,000 annually. Learn more about this no-cost opportunity by visiting the NCRA free certification program.

This year’s conference will provide education resources, and Shaunise plans to provide several students with scholarships. The goal is to increase the number of scholarships through the support of the Steno community, empowering more aspiring Steno professionals.

Top Highlights of the Three-Day Conference:

• Inspiring Keynotes: Experts and Pioneers will be providing insights on how they manage their career seamlessly and effectively.

•  Training Workshops: Practical workshops will offer practical training in new stenographic technology, practice and professionalism.

•  Advocacy Panels: Conversations about profession’s future, challenges, and how stenographers are critical to the legal profession.
