Return of the eDiscovery Daily Thought Leader Interviews!: eDiscovery Trends
Let’s face it, we need something to take our mind off the COVID-19 pandemic more than ever. So, with that in mind, the appearance of the dancing light bulb can only mean one thing – it’s time for another thought leader series!
Given that there’s not a lot of eDiscovery-specific news to cover right now with Federal and State courts closed and other eDiscovery activities limited, I thought now might be a good time to bring back the Thought Leader interviews that I conducted at Legaltech for eight years straight from 2011 to 2018. Over the first 7+ years of our existence, eDiscovery Daily published several thought leader interviews from various thought leaders throughout the eDiscovery community, including an annual series of interviews at Legaltech New York (LTNY) from 2011 to 2018.
We would have continued doing them, but I went from managing one product at the beginning of 2018 to 5+ products now – with regard to the “+”, more on that later – and CloudNine hosted the NineForum presentations the past couple of years at LTNY, which left little time for me to conduct thought leader interviews. Hence, the pause.
But, now we need something to talk about. Something, anything other than COVID-19. So, I thought it would be a great time to bring back the thought leader interviews and I reached out to several well known eDiscovery thought leaders to gauge their interest in participating (with the intent to reach out to several others as well). At least half a dozen expressed an interest and willingness to do an interview, so it’s on!
Unlike past years when we have conducted them, I won’t be publishing a schedule in advance. My goal will be to publish one a week for as long as I have eDiscovery thought leaders willing to be interviewed. Hopefully, that will be at least as long as we are all “on pause” during this pandemic. If not a lot longer.
