Episode 12 of the Blacklines & Billables podcast: the next installment of our “Voices” series--this time from National Harbor, Maryland at ILTACON 2018. We asked a range of lawyers and technologists attending the conference for on-the-spot short answers to a range of questions about ILTACON and the legal technology landscape more broadly. Their reactions and impressions created this pod, which captures a snapshot of the ILTACON experience and provides a window into the important conversations currently taking place in the legal tech community.
The Questions:
- What makes ILTACON interesting or unique as a legal tech conference?
- In your view, what (a) legal tech development or (b) motivating force/pressure is most likely to generate meaningful, short-term innovation in the practice of law?
- Rewind 3 years, what’s a development on the legal tech landscape that you would have expected to have happened by ILTACON 2018, but still hasn’t?
- Conversely, what’s an innovation or development on the legal tech landscape that’s happening more quickly than you expected?
- What information about legal technology and the legal tech market do you wish you had, but you find is actually quite difficult to obtain?
- What part of the legal landscape is most in need of significant innovation?
- If, as part of the ILTACON package, you received a 1% equity stake in a legal tech company of your choice, which company would you choose and why?
- What’s the most valuable part of the ILTACON experience?
