Episode 12 of the Blacklines & Billables podcast: the next installment of our “Voices” series--this time from National Harbor, Maryland at ILTACON 2018. We asked a range of lawyers and technologists attending the conference for on-the-spot short answers to a range of questions about ILTACON and the legal technology landscape more broadly. Their reactions and impressions created this pod, which captures a snapshot of the ILTACON experience and provides a window into the important conversations currently taking place in the legal tech community.

The Questions:

1. What makes ILTACON interesting or unique as a legal tech conference?
2. In your view, what (a) legal tech development or (b) motivating force/pressure is most likely to generate meaningful, short-term innovation in the practice of law?
3. Rewind 3 years, what’s a development on the legal tech landscape that you would have expected to have happened by ILTACON 2018, but still hasn’t?
4. Conversely, what’s an innovation or development on the legal tech landscape that’s happening more quickly than you expected?
5. What information about legal technology and the legal tech market do you wish you had, but you find is actually quite difficult to obtain?
6. What part of the legal landscape is most in need of significant innovation?
7. If, as part of the ILTACON package, you received a 1% equity stake in a legal tech company of your choice, which company would you choose and why?
8. What’s the most valuable part of the ILTACON experience?
