On 7 March, over 350 legal professionals from across Aotearoa and abroad will gather in Auckland for the premier legal innovation and technology event on the New Zealand calendar.
LawFest continues to be the only opportunity in New Zealand for the legal and technology community to come together to network, collaborate, and learn about how to innovate and adapt to change – and to do so in person!
With technology moving much quicker than most predicted, every legal professional needs to be aware of what is here, and what is coming! These are exciting times as Generative AI and Chat GPT have brought AI into the mainstream – enabling the legal profession to fundamentally change how it operates, and how legal services can be delivered. LawFest will explore the opportunities that AI can provide to enhance how you work, so you are not left behind by the transformation.
LawFest is so much more than simply AI, with something for everyone, from those new to technology, to those currently at the forefront of legal innovation, and everyone in-between.
A programme to inspire & challenge your thinking
With 20+ amazing speakers from New Zealand and abroad, the interactive programme will deliver practical insights of how to innovate and leverage technology to help you deliver legal services for today and the future.
