Extract from Bob Ambrogi’s article “From ‘Who Luck’ to ‘Who’s Here?’: The TLTF Summit Continues to Excel, Even As It Expands”
God forbid a disaster had befallen Austin, Texas, last week, because it could have set back the evolution of legal tech by at least a decade. Assembled there were many of the best and the brightest of the legal tech world, who had all come together for the fourth edition of what has become the must-attend event for legal tech innovators, entrepreneurs and investors – the TLTF Summit.
Produced by The Legaltech Fund, the first venture capital firm devoted exclusively to legal tech, it is a conference I previously dubbed the Davos of legal tech for the fact that it brings together leaders from across disciplines to engage in open and unfettered dialogue about the state and future of legal innovation. As someone who has attended all four summits, I’ve had a front-row seat to its evolution.
Unique to this conference is its mix of people. It is invitation only, and TLTF staff literally call and interview everyone who applies to ensure the right fit. It is also sales free – no exhibitors or salespeople. To encourage open dialogue, the summit operates under the Chatham House Rule, by which participants are free to use the information they receive, but not to reveal the identify or affiliation of any speaker or participant.
