The 46th annual ILTACON is officially underway! <\/p>\n

During the past several decades, it has grown from a few lawyers in a meeting room to a major event. As ILTA CEO Joy Heath Rush recently joked in an ATL interview<\/a>, the organization may need to build new hotel rooms to house the more than 5,300 attendees expected this year.<\/p>\n

With dozens of sponsors, more than 80 panels and educational sessions, countless activities, and a stacked agenda, this year is sure to show just how the legal tech world is growing.<\/p>\n
