Each spring, ABA TECHSHOW takes center stage as one of the premier legal technology conferences. While there is great value in attending legal tech conferences, all lawyers can benefit simply from seeing what’s on the agenda at TECHSHOW and other events. Show organizers put a lot of thought into show agendas and we can all learn where to put our technology focus by seeing what topics these shows cover. In this episode, we use TECHSHOW 2012 as an example of how you can assess your current technology agenda, talk about the major topics being covered at TECHSHOW, and suggest ways you can use the TECHSHOW topic list to help set your technology priorities for 2012.
