Announcing Fourth Annual LTNY Thought Leader Series! – eDiscovery Trends

Bad weather, travel cancellations and stolen laptops could not keep us from keeping the tradition alive.  It’s time for another thought leader interview series!

In our efforts to continue to bring our readers perspectives from various thought leaders throughout the eDiscovery community, eDiscoveryDaily has published several thought leader interviews over the nearly 3 1/2 years of our existence.  The past two years at LegalTech New York (LTNY), we were able to conduct interviews with several eDiscovery industry thought leaders and announced the schedule for those interviews after the show.  Click here to see the schedule for last year’s interviews and here to see the 2012 interview schedule with links to each interview we conducted in each year.

We had a full slate of interviews that were cancelled because of our travel difficulties to New York.  Thankfully, every interviewee graciously rescheduled with us over the past few days.  We really appreciate it!  We’re pleased to introduce the schedule for the series, which will begin next Monday, February 24.
