It's been two weeks since Technology in Practice 2016 came to a close, and from the feedback we received directly and through the almost 800 surveys completed, this year's program provided conference attendees with content that was informative, educational and thought-provoking. Thank you to all those who attended and helped us celebrate the "Champions of eDiscovery" that have shaped this industry and laid a path beneath our feet.

We asked our attendees to share their thoughts on the conference and we are happy to report that 95% of survey respondants rated this year's conference as Excellent or Very Good and nearly all of the respondents plan to attend Technology in Practice 2017, and would recommend it to a colleague.
