Tomorrow, November 19th, marks the launch of Virtual LegalTech. In anticipation of the launch, InsideLegal met with Rob Hafiz, ALM's Director of Sales & Business Development, to get the scoop.
To start, here is the answer to "What is Virtual LegalTech" from ALM's website...
"Virtual LegalTech offers all the powerful educational and networking opportunities of LegalTech, the premier conference and trade show for technology in the legal community. VLT is a showcase for the latest hardware, software, tools and services that are moving the practice of law ahead through innovative solutions. It's also an invaluable chance to talk with colleagues, share best practices and make connections with professionals from law firms and corporate legal departments from all over the world.
VLT's fully interactive virtual environment enables you to do all the things you'd do at a live event: attend presentations and panel discussions, talk with vendors, see product demonstrations, collect information, network with colleagues and get the latest news from the ever-evolving arena of legal technology. The show is open all year around, 24 hours a day, seven days a week."
