Where Innovation and E-Discovery Take Center Stage
The Nexus between ACEDS and Relativity Fest
Picture this: Chicago buzzing with innovation, the streets echoing with e-discovery insights, and the calendar marking September 26-28, 2023. Yes, we’re talking about Relativity Fest! And while this grand event is Relativity’s brainchild, ACEDS will be right there amongst the action supporting our long-time partner. We’ll have two sessions, a kiosk, and will be in the crowd cheering on its members and partners during the Innovation Awards.
As an association that shares a love for e-discovery innovation, ACEDS is thrilled to lend its support to Relativity Fest, making it even more special. Being partners with Relativity and watching our community members progress in e-discovery every year? Nothing short of magical!

It’s where we celebrate creative minds that have dared to challenge the norm and reshape the e-discovery landscape.
