It’s officially 2019 and it’s time to start thinking about this year’s slate of e-discovery conferences. Luckily, a few of our favorite e-discovery blogs have gathered all the information you need to find the event that is right for you.

I would start out at the E-Discovery Daily blog for Doug Austin’s list of the top events for 2019. This is a nicely currated list of important US-based e-discovery conferences.

Then I would would check out Rob Robinson’s extensive list of ALL known E-discovery events for 2019. This comprehensive list includes 45 entries from around the globe. This list is considered a work in progress and is being updated as information comes in.
