The International Legal Technology Association’s 2010 Conference is underway in Las Vegas. Legal Current is part of the Thomson Reuters team here at the Aria Resort & Casino on the Vegas strip.
The theme of ILTA’S 33rd annual conference is “Strategic Unity.” It’s a concept that ILTA says “resonates the need for law firms and law departments to unite their technology with the practice of law. These disciplines must come together as never before in order to survive and thrive in the future.”
Conference Co-Chair Maureen Babcock says ILTA is an organization that reaches around the world, not just the United States, and the content at the 2010 conference is tailored to meet the global legal technology needs of its members – and also is planned by its members.
“That’s the value of a volunteer organization like ILTA,” Babcock says. “We review trends out in the industry, what the hot topics are… …and then we sit down and start brainstorming… …we come up with this enormous pile of ideas.”
We did a podcast with Babcock on Aug. 9 (Her interview is at the 13:15 mark of the show).
Over the next few days here in Vegas, we’ve got a lot planned here on the blog, including a special edition of our Legal Current podcast that I’ll be posting tonight, featuring interviews with several attendees at the conference, highlighting some of the great content and industry insight that ILTA is known for.
We also will have several recaps of the speakers and sessions here on Legal Current and we’ll catch up with several of our Thomson Reuters attendees as well.
You also can follow our updates on Twitter (We’re @legalcurrent) and the hashtag #ilta10.
In addition to the video interviews we’ll be posting here on Legal Current, we also will put some photos up on our Flickr page.
So, be watching the blog for our updates from ILTA!
