Top 3 Things You Don't Want To Miss At Legalweek 2022

Hooray! Huzzah! Legalweek 2022 is right around the corner!Thousands of legal professionals will meet again in New York City on March 9 — for the world’s largest, longest-running conference on all things legal tech. General counsels (GCs), corporate legal departments, and law firms will learn from each other about the rise of advanced legal technology and legal digital transformation. Organized by American Lawyer Media, this year’s event will focus on addressing the ever-changing legal landscape and making in-house legal teams even better.Here are a few things you won’t want to miss at Legalweek 2022.

Networking – Meeting Like-minded Professionals

Besides spending a few days in the ‘city that never sleeps,’ you’ll have a chance to talk directly with legal professionals that are just like you! This is a great way to not only develop new connections, but also learn new things and find opportunities in the legal industry. (With more than 8,000 attendees and more than 300 speakers from 36 different countries, you’re bound to connect with people who can help you!)

Discovering Trends in Legal Tech

There are new legal tech trends every single year. But Legalweek showcases the current digital solutions that’ll shape the future of legal teams. It offers the latest research and unique insights on these innovations, too.

One major trend is the prevalence of remote and hybrid work. These past two years, legal departments and companies have switched to more flexible work environments. But part of transitioning to remote or hybrid work is adopting the right digital tools. As mentioned in our previous blog post on Legalweek 2022, 60 percent of the corporate legal departments are now interested in leveraging cloud-based, AI-powered platforms — for contract management and legal operations — in order to work from home (WFH) or away from the office.On top of that, Legalweek 2022 will cover exciting trends in the specific areas of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and automation.

Attending Panel Sessions

Legalweek also includes talks and panel sessions by GCs (such as myself!), chief technology officers, and chief marketing officers from all walks of life. (Think legal departments, legal services, legal providers, and more!) Attendees benefit from in-depth discussions that provide many helpful tips, strategy ideas, and overall inspiration.Here are three sessions that Leah will be hosting this year.Data-Driven Decisions: Identifying Indispensable KPIs for Any Contract Department This session will:
