eDiscovery Daily Blog

• January 21, 2019

Hard to believe that Legalweek begins one week from today and Legaltech (the primary conference within Legalweek) begins the next day.  Legaltech always has a lot to offer every year, between interesting sessions and a busy exhibit hall, but the exhibit hall will be a little busier this year, due to something unique that we have put together at CloudNine – TED-style talk sessions right from our booth with our inaugural NineForum series!

Next Tuesday, January 29 and Wednesday, January 30, prominent and highly respected eDiscovery and litigation support experts will deliver 9 TED-style talks, 20 minutes each, covering important topics impacting legal professionals at CloudNine’s Legaltech booth (#310-312).

Anyway, I want to thank all of the speakers for agreeing to participate and I’m very excited to add NineForum to the educational efforts from CloudNine that include this blog and our monthly webcasts (including our upcoming webcast on Wednesday)!
