Happy New Year! It’s 2023!  As always, a new year brings a new slate of eDiscovery events, conferences and meetings.  And courtesy of Rob Robinson’s excellent ComplexDiscovery site, you know when most of the eDiscovery events in 2023 are currently planned.

In Rob’s post The New Office Meeting? A Running Listing of eDiscovery Events in 2023, he once again provides a working list of eDiscovery events in 2023, stating: “This working list of 2023 eDiscovery-related events, conferences, and meetings may interest legal, business, and information technology professionals operating in cybersecurity, information governance, and legal discovery as it provides a non-all-inclusive starting point for considering education, awareness, and demand-generation opportunities for individuals and organizations in 2023.”

Rob has compiled a list of events every year for several years now and I’m happy to say I’ve covered it for several years as well.  His yearly post is a great reference guide for key events and Rob continues to update it as events are added or dates for events are announced.

Not only does Rob compile the list every year, but he starts compiling it early – his initial posting for this year’s list is dated November 10, 2022 – even before Thanksgiving! So, why do I wait until now to cover it? It’s a timely and easy post for me to cover to start off the new year! Thanks, Rob!

Anyway, here are a few notable eDiscovery events in 2023 that are currently scheduled (with links to the sites when available):

• February 8-9: 10th Annual E-Discovery Conference, University of Florida
• March 1-4: ABA TECHSHOW – Chicago
• March 20-23: Legalweek 2023, New York, NY
• March 30-31: Information Governance Leadership Summit – San Diego
• April 4-5: IAPP Global Privacy Summit 2023
• May 15-18: CLOC – Las Vegas
• May 22-24: MER Conference – Chicago
• August 5-10: Black Hat USA 2023 – Las Vegas
• August 20-24: ILTACON – Disney World
• October 10-11: EDI – Indian Wells, CA

This list also includes 12 scheduled events for eDiscovery Today Affinity partner The Master’s Conference, announced last month!

This year, Rob has not added events for which the dates are still TBD, including Georgetown Advanced eDiscovery Institute and E-Discovery Day. While some events are offering virtual attendance options, most are in-person only, which reflects how people are getting back into in-person events again. Later this week, you’ll find out how many of you are attending as many in-person events as you did before the pandemic! Stay tuned!  😉

You can find a much more comprehensive list of events in Rob’s post here.  This is a link you’ll want to save as a favorite to reference periodically to identify updates to the schedule.

So, what do you think?  Do you plan to attend any in-person eDiscovery events in 2023?  Please share any comments you might have or if you’d like to know more about a particular topic.
