We’re getting close to the end of another year.  What do organized people in eDiscovery do when that happens?  Start planning for next year.

On his excellent Complex Discovery blog, Rob Robinson helps you get a “running start” in your planning for next year, with a preliminary list of eDiscovery-related industry events for 2018.  From Legalweek (a.k.a., Legaltech) at the end of January to The Masters Conference Orlando event in November, Rob has identified 41 initial eDiscovery and cybersecurity related events (with links to each) to consider adding to your calendar for next year.  Here are a few highlights:

• January 1/29 – 2/1: Legalweek, New York, NY (already less than two months away!)
• March 3/6 – 3/8: ASU-Arkfeld 7th Annual eDiscovery and Digital Evidence Conference, Phoenix, AZ
• March 3/7 – 3/10: ABA TECHSHOW, Chicago, IL
• March 3/29: 6th Annual UF Law E-Discovery Conference, Gainesville, FL
• May 5/9 – 5/10: 2018 Chief Information Governance Officer Summit, Chicago, IL
• June 6/3 – 6/8: Georgetown Law: The eDiscovery Training Academy, Georgetown, DC
• June 6/21 – 6/26: ALA Annual Conference, New Orleans, LA
• August 8/19 – 8/23: ILTACON 2018, National Harbor, MD
• September 9/30 – 10/3: Relativity Fest 2018, Chicago, IL
• October 10/21 – 10/24: 2018 ACC Annual Meeting, Austin, TX

These are just a few of the cool events related to eDiscovery and cybersecurity for next year.  In addition, you have terrific regional events, like The Masters Conference, which has events planned next year for Dallas, San Francisco, Chicago, Denver, New York, London, Washington DC and (as mentioned above) Orlando.

Of course, other events will undoubtedly be added to the calendar as the year progresses (for example, I would guess there would be another E-Discovery Day in December, though I doubt it will be on December 1 as that falls on a Saturday next year – consider it a “floating” holiday, haha).  Regardless, Rob’s list (once again) provides a great eDiscovery and cybersecurity related event list by which to plan your 2018 event activities.  Click here to access the list.

So, what do you think?  Do you have a favorite eDiscovery or cybersecurity event you like to attend every year?  Please share any comments you might have or if you’d like to know more about a particular topic.
