Nashville offers countless reasons to visit, but when you combine the city’s talent and energy with the legal community’s convergence at the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center, you create an unforgettable experience. ILTACON 2024 was a prime example of this magic, drawing together a remarkable crowd of over 4000 legal and IT professionals, marking one of the most well-attended conferences in our industry—even pre-pandemic. The week was filled with action, new connections, and insightful exchanges, and I had the privilege of experiencing much of it alongside our new partnership at Oxygen Forensics, stationed at booth 752.
Immersed in the World of Legal Tech
While my time at ILTACON was primarily spent with the team at Oxygen Forensics, I managed to attend one pivotal session that left a lasting impression: ACEDS Presents: The Perils and Promises of Artificial Intelligence: Navigating the AI Jungle. This session, moderated by Maribel Rivera, VP, Strategy and Client Engagement, ACEDS, featured insights from industry leaders such as Julie Brown, Director of Practice Technology at Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease LLP; Cat Casey, Chief Growth Officer at Reveal; and David Horrigan, Discovery Counsel and Legal Education Director at Relativity. The session was a deep dive into the current and future applications of AI in legal discovery, data privacy and legal research, and it was clear that AI is steadily weaving itself into the fabric of the legal industry.
