Women in eDiscovery and South Texas College of Law Team Up for Another Houston Conference: eDiscovery Best Practices

Last year, I was honored to participate in the inaugural eDiscovery “Legal Technology Showcase & Conference” at South Texas College of Law in downtown Houston, hosted by the Women in eDiscovery (WiE), Houston Chapter.  The event was such a success they’re doing it again this year!

On September 27, WiE Houston, in partnership with South Texas College of Law and the Association of Certified E-Discovery Specialists (ACEDS), will be hosting the second annual “Legal Technology Showcase & Conference”.  The one-day technology showcase will bring together legal thought leadership, innovative technology providers, practitioners, legal support staff and law school students in one venue to network and collaborate on current legal industry trends and innovative technology products.

Thanks to South Texas College of Law, ACEDS, conference sponsors and technology exhibitors, the event is free to attend and open to all professionals within the legal industry including attorneys, litigation support and legal operations professionals, paralegals, legal IT staff, court reporters, consultants, recruiters and vendors.

The conference will feature several educational sessions (with CLE credit!) led by industry experts and thought leaders along with a full day of technology exhibits from leading legal technology providers. The event agenda includes a continental breakfast, welcome keynote, 3 educational sessions, lunch, all day exhibitions, and a post-event happy hour.  Attendees will also have the opportunity to enter in a drawing to win a CEDS scholarship courtesy of ACEDS.

The agenda and speakers will be updated as they are finalized, though a preliminary agenda and speaker list are available.

I’m excited to be one of the speakers again this year on the panel discussion AI and TAR for Legal: Use Cases for Discovery and Beyond at 2:30pm and CloudNine is also a Premier Platinum Sponsor for the event (as well as an Exhibitor, so you can come learn about us too).

The conference runs from 8:30am to 5:00pm, with a networking happy hour from 5:00pm to 7:00pm.  Both events are at South Texas College of Law in downtown Houston.  If you’re in Houston (or could be on that day), click here to register for the event.  Based on last year’s turnout, it’s going to be BIG, so register early to save your spot!
