eDiscovery Daily Blog

• April 7, 2017

Since this blog was founded in 2010, we have certainly covered each LegalTech New York (LTNY) conference extensively, with (in most years) a pre-show look, coverage of eDiscovery related sessions each day, a post mortem set of observations from LTNY attendees and an annual thought leader interview series (this year was our seventh annual series).  But, nobody covers the show quite like Andrew Haslam.

Andrew’s annual write-up on LTNY is as comprehensive a look at the show as you’ll find.  This year, his write-up (cheekily titled Do you want AI with that?) is a ten page overview that covers everything from the theme of the show in his observation (which is reflected in the title of the write-up) to weather and travel (for Andrew, that is across the pond from Britain) to the venue to a host of (sometimes brutally frank) observations from participants (including yours truly) and Andrew’s own observations from meetings with various vendors at the show (including CloudNine).  The title comes from his observation that “as in the fast food industry where ‘do you want fries with that?’ became a standard upsell to any order, so AI seems to be tacked on to every presentation (and a lot of demonstrations) at the event.”

Andrew’s report was a little later than usual this year as he now has a different “day job” as the UK eDisclosure Project Manager at Squire Patton Boggs and he notes that the opinions are his own and not those of his employer.  I can relate as every post I write has that disclaimer paragraph at the bottom that you see.  Regardless, Andrew’s LTNY write-up is always uniquely informative and entertaining and a great read.

A link to Andrew’s report can be found at Legal IT Insider here.

So, what do you think?  Did you attend LTNY this year?  If so, what did YOU think of the event?  Please share any comments you might have or if you’d like to know more about a particular topic.
