The American Bar Association Law Practice Division will host TECHSHOW 2018, March 7-10 in Chicago.
ABA TECHSHOW is where lawyers, legal professionals, and technology all come together. For three days, attendees learn about the most useful and practical technologies available.
The schedule includes more than 60 sessions in 16 different tracks covering the latest in blockchain, cybersecurity, modern e-discovery and the latest trends in legal technology.
The keynote speaker will be Daniel Martin Katz, an associate professor of Law at Illinois Tech–Chicago.
A scientist and technologist, Katz will focus on how lawyers should embrace innovation and these new technologies if they want to achieve greater professional success or merely ensure their economic survival.
Program highlights include:
• “AI in Practice — Or, the Robots are Not Your Enemy — Artificial intelligence is impacting the way law is practiced and how law firms operate.

Panelists will also discuss the use of chatbots, text messaging, lead buys, automation and more to help you to ethically close the deal with new clients.
• “Effective Security Awareness Training for Law Firm Personnel” — Phishing and social engineering scams are pandemic, as criminals increasingly target law firms to access financial accounts or hold your data for ransom.
