Building on the success of the last three years of New Zealand’s dedicated legal technology event, LawFest 2017 is being held in Auckland on 17 May 2017. It’s not just ‘another conference’ – it is the one event of the year legal professionals should attend to discover how technology and innovation can impact them, their firms and their clients.

If you are interested in innovation and technology to drive efficiency in your practice then LawFest is the event for you.

With more focus on innovation as well as technology we’ve created the brand to better reflect this new direction. We’ve made some significant changes to the event to ensure delegates and exhibitors continue to benefit year on year, and to cater to those just starting on their technology journey.

This year we have established an Advisory Panel consisting of leading legal and technology professionals to help develop an engaging and enjoyable programme. The panel has an excellent cross section of expertise, helping us to deliver an event focused on how technology and innovation can drive efficiency in your practice and ensure the day is valuable for all delegates.

LawFest’s multi-stream programme provides something for every level: from those new to technology, to those currently at the forefront of legal innovation, and everyone in-between. The event is tailored specifically to the needs of lawyers, support staff and management from within law firms, corporate organisations and government agencies.

The programme and speakers will be rolled out over coming weeks, and finalised at our launch event in early 2017. The expanded programme will include multiple session streams featuring all new topics and speakers, which promise to be stimulating and thought-provoking, including legal technology experts, practitioners and leading innovation thought leaders from New Zealand and abroad.

So save the date, 17 May 2017, or grab your early-bird ticket to save $140, and join us at the Langham in Auckland for this premier innovation and technology event.
