Behind the scenes, the team at Exterro, ACEDS, EDRM, and eDiscovery Today are busy brainstorming, planning, and organizing the 8th Annual E-Discovery Day celebration, scheduled this year for December 1st. While we’re not quite ready to announce all of the days’ events, it’s safe to say there will be an educational component, with informative webinars throughout the day, as well as a social element—with a fun online game and in-person celebrations across the country.
As we’re preparing for the big day, there is one great way for you to join in the fun—our Annual E-Discovery Day Survey. If you take the short survey and answer 10 light-hearted e-discovery questions (including the perennial debate over “e-discovery, ediscovery, or eDiscovery”), you’ll be entered into a drawing to win one of two ACEDS Certification Scholarships, a $1495 value.
To get in the spirit of the day, let’s dig into some facts and trivia around E-Discovery Day and e-discovery in general!
How do you spell e-discovery?
Yes, you can tell where Exterro comes down on the “how do you spell e-discovery” debate… but what about the community at large?
It turns out we’re in the minority, with only 34% of respondents this year (up from 28% last year!) agreeing with the hyphenated e-discovery. About 2/3 of respondents over the past two years prefer “eDiscovery,” perhaps out of allegiance to eDiscovery Today?
