We’re thrilled to launch another action-packed day at the 46th annual ILTACON, the premier event where the intersection of law and technology vibrates with the pulse of progress. This year, ILTACON has outdone itself, hosting over 5,300 attendees across a sprawling venue bustling with activities, educational panels, and networking opportunities.

Joy Heath Rush, ILTA CEO, humorously noted the need for more hotel rooms to accommodate the burgeoning crowd of legal tech enthusiasts. This only underscores the explosive growth and keen interest in the evolving landscape of legal technologies.

As the sun rises, attendees can enjoy a quick bite at the Morning Light-Bites in the Delta Ballroom Lobby/Volunteer Lobby, fueling up for a day filled with insightful sessions and groundbreaking discussions.

The spotlight of the morning is the Kevin Fong Keynote at 9 AM in Delta Ballroom A. Fong, renowned for his compelling insights, will address the conference with a focus on innovation and collaboration in the legal sphere, particularly through the lens of the 911 Memorial, symbolizing resilience and forward-thinking.

Following the keynote, the Wellness Window – Presented by Harvey offers a unique relaxation experience with an Oxygen Bar from 10:30 AM to 3 PM in the Delta BCD Lobby. Concurrently, the Exhibit Hall will open its doors until 6 PM, featuring pioneers like Neostella, DocStyle, and Ajax, who are reshaping how law firms operate in today’s digital era.

A highlight for book lovers and thought leaders, the ILTA Authors Corner, will be accessible from 10:30 AM to 5 PM at the Davidson Registration Desk. Here, attendees can explore publications from their peers, with opportunities for book signings and engaging author discussions. Check the Bizzabo App for live signing schedules.

The afternoon sessions are equally riveting. Topics range from AI governance frameworks to advanced data-driven strategies for legal firms, showcasing sessions like "Beyond the Charter" and "Hello, Dollars: Data-Driven Financial Strategies" across various venues.

For those looking to dive deep into specialized topics, the afternoon offers sessions on building smart virtual agents, managing data science within legal teams, and transformative legal technology strategies. The Press Briefing at 2:30 PM will provide insights into the latest industry trends and developments.

The day concludes with the Women Who Lead Reception from 4:30-5:30 PM in the Magnolia Mezzanine, celebrating the achievements and leadership of women in the legal technology field. This reception not only offers a chance to unwind but also to connect with trailblazers and peers in a supportive and inspiring environment.
