9:35AM - 10:15AM
This panel discussion will focus on eDiscovery from the onset of litigation from a usable and practical standpoint. The panel will address how to mitigate initial eDiscovery costs, potentially avoid unnecessary motion practice over discovery disputes and help you understand what type of data you really need to review.

eDiscovery and information governance is directly impacted by the technologies available to teams that need them. Technology has come a long way, but it still poses challenges. This panel will talk about current challenges (e.g. mobile devices and BYOD) and technologies like Office 365 are both solving problems and creating new ones.

Taking Search to the Next Level
11:35AM - 12:15PM
It has been a decade since Judge Andrew Peck issued the first opinion approving the use of a machine learning algorithm for legal document search. We called that process technology assisted review (aka predictive coding) and initially used it for large scale document review. In the years since, these smart algorithms have found a wider range of uses, from investigations, through ECA, and incoming document review by law firms, corporations and government agencies.
How does this machine learning process work and how effective can it be at finding relevant documents? And what can we expect from the next generation of faster and more flexible smart algorithms? Join us for a look at the next generation of search algorithms which integrate machine learning and keyword techniques to make investigations, early case assessment and document review even more effective and cost efficient.

Information Governance - Building a Defensible Disposal Program
2:25PM - 3:05PM
Companies often retain more data than they need to and have inadvertently become “data hoarders.” “Keeping everything forever, just in case…” has resulted in avoidable data risks, greater compliance scopes and higher storage costs. The risks and costs will only become greater as data volumes are doubling every two years. Join us to understand how you can create a sustainable Data Disposal Program that aligns with your compliance demands, risk tolerances and business objectives- oh yeah, and could also save you $Ms in excessive storage costs!

Cybersecurity in eDiscovery
3:15PM - 3:55PM
The surge in cybersecurity incidents has not bypassed the practice of eDiscovery. This panel will discuss situations in which cyberattacks have factored into eDiscovery aspects of proceedings. Then the panel will discuss ways in which parties, their counsel and service providers may act to reduce the probability and impact of a cybersecurity incident during eDiscovery.

Escalating Cyber Risk From the IT Department to the Boardroom
4:05PM - 4:45PM
Despite today's frequent headlines regarding companies falling victim to cyberattacks or suffering data breaches, cyber risk is still a relatively new threat - is it? While companies may have an idea about the potential effects on reputation and impact on the overall business, many are yet to experience one first-hand, or at least not on a high-profile scale. That means there’s still unfamiliarity around how exactly to manage the risk. Many companies are changing their approach, in some cases, cybersecurity is still departmentalized and seen as the remit of the IT team.
• How do you incorporate a cybersecurity strategy into the company's overall governance, risk, and compliance structure? What's the best approach?
