Celebrating its 14th year this year, ILTACON Europe (formerly INSIGHT)
will move from its previous etc.venues home to the recently opened and
larger etc.venues 133 Houndsditch. ILTA’s International Program Planning
Council co-chairs Tony McKenna, IT Director, Gowling WLG (UK) LLP, and
Andrew Powell, Director of IT, Macfarlanes LLP, joined ILTA CEO, Joy
Heath Rush, to tour the new space and collaborate on the unique and
targeted education, supplier demonstration, and networking opportunities
for this year’s ILTACON Europe delegates.
“Our premier UK event, known for many years as INSIGHT, now
transitions into ILTACON Europe, to align with ILTA’s overall premier
education and peer networking focus,” said Joy Heath Rush, ILTA CEO.
“This reflects not only ILTA’s dedication to the growing UK and European
legal tech communities, but my personal belief that the legal technology
markets in Europe and the UK would vastly benefit from the types of
events only ILTA delivers. The quality of the peer-driven education,
supplier discussions, and unique networking time with peers doing
similar work, will make ILTACON Europe an unparalleled experience and
destination for those in legal tech supporting the practice of law.”
As part of their entity-based, global membership model, ILTA develops
rich educational content for professionals at in-house law departments,
law firms, government law departments, and academia, delivered via
in-person conferences, roadshows and local meetings, virtual webinars,
blogs, and publications. A formidable group of UK-based ILTA thought
leaders and futurists, spanning business and legal technology expertise,
will lead the strategic education direction of ILTACON Europe in 2019.
Additionally, ILTA recently hired Mercedes Brown, UK Community
Engagement Manager, ILTA’s first full-time staff member outside of North
America. Mercedes Brown, is located in London and comes to ILTA with a
law background and experience working with legal tech suppliers and
community organizations.
The two-day format of ILTACON Europe will provide delegates a new
evening event experience Wednesday evening, beyond the historically
brief cocktail reception, where further networking and peer discussions
can happen more casual and festive environment.
“I am so pleased to be leading ILTA at this time as we expand our
footprint across the UK and Europe,” said Joy Heath Rush. “ILTACON has
always served as a unique, in-person, destination for the global legal
technology community to reap the benefits only ILTA can provide. I am
thrilled to showcase ILTACON Europe to our new and growing communities
this November.”
