Post-discovery chaos? Join our expert panel for smart workflows that bridge the gap to trial. RSVP now to secure your spot!

We’re delighted to invite you to the ACEDS eDiscovery Day event—an evening designed for professionals in eDiscovery, digital forensics, eHearings, and legal operations.

Join us for drinks, finger food, and networking, along with a thought-provoking panel discussion exploring a critical challenge in our field:

What happens after discovery ends?
Too often, legal teams are left navigating a complex and under-supported phase – transforming vast volumes of discovered material into case chronologies, witness bundles, and trial-ready insights. Current tools and workflows rarely bridge this gap effectively, leading to delays, inefficiencies, and increased costs.

Our expert panel will share practical strategies for building mature post-discovery workflows that streamline the transition to litigation and help teams manage documents more intelligently.
This is a great opportunity to connect with peers, exchange ideas, and gain actionable insights to enhance your practice.
RSVP now to secure your place—we look forward to seeing you there.
