t's our third Peer to Peer of the year – and how did that happen?
ILTA's Spring and Summer were especially busy this year! Since we
last "spoke," ILTA has seated a new Board of Directors, announced
and previewed a new Strategic Plan, hosted LegalSEC Summit,
conducted our Distinguished Peer Awards, and held that little annual
educational conference we call ILTACON! Whew!
I am writing this the week after ILTACON, and my level of exhilaration
(with maybe a little exhaustion) is unabated! So much energy!
What were some of the highlights for me?
• First, I love how ILTACON brings our entire community together! Members
– of course! Business Partners? Absolutely! But also press, investors,
consultants, start-ups, and affiliates. Standard-setting organizations held
board and member meetings. Key business partners conducted customer
advisory council meetings.
• Second, it is wonderful seeing people connect on so many levels! Our
revived Corporate Legal Days – in a wonderful collaboration with CLOC
– allowed our Corporate members to talk about issues specific to their
organizations. However, those same people also connected across different
groups based on role, common providers, and geography.
• Third, there was so much new tech! New providers, naturally. But also
tons of offerings from well-established, trusted providers. I may be an
association executive these days, but there is tons of geek left in me!!!
When I think about the themes emerging from ILTACON, five rise to the top.
• AI, AI everywhere, and more than a drop to drink! It is not a surprise that two
of the top 10 most-attended sessions at ILTACON focused on Large Language
Models and Generative AI. However, the conversation was way more than
theoretical, including case studies around AI in the business of law.
• Despite the cool new tech, our members still need to keep the lights on and
our core tech purring like a kitten. Four of our top 10 sessions were focused
