LegalTech NYC on February 2 - 4

Listen to Karl Schieneman, President of Remote Review and Consulting at Inspired Review as he moderates what should be a special ESIBYtes show discussing the upcoming LegalTech in New York City from January 29 �¢?? 31. Joining us as guests on this show are Henry Dicker, Vice President of Events at ALM, Executive Director, LegalTech and John Tredennick, CEO of Catalyst a document review and predictive coding software provider and amateur musician being showcased at LegalTech. Henry has been with ALM for 14 years and has been running the LegalTech brand for his entire tenure. LegalTech for those who are un-familiar, is the preeminent legal technology show in the world and is being held in New York City from Tuesday, February 2 through Thursday February 4. The show is held in multiple floors in the midtown Hilton Hotel on 6th Ave and 53rd Street and has a very large trade show with vendors of all sorts who display their latest and greatest technology. In addition, it draws an audience of lawyers, lit support professionals, IT professionals, and other vendors who may not be displaying at the event but still come to network and share information. It is a wonderful few days of socializing if you are like me and have friends in the field across the country and internationally because it is an event that the top people in the field do not miss. But it can be a bit stressful for the novice attendee because it is a large show and there are lots and lots of attendees wandering around. That is one reason we are hosting this show before Legal Tech is to provide advice on how to get the most out of the event.
