A bigger, bolder 2026 is officially underway—and the legal industry is wasting no time stepping into the future. This year’s most anticipated legal and eDiscovery events are lining up to deliver fresh thinking, real-world insights, and powerful conversations around innovation, data, and collaboration. At Right Discovery, we’re gearing up for an unforgettable year of legal innovation and connection, and we’re excited to be part of the conversations shaping what’s next.
The 2026 conference calendar reflects just how fast legal technology is evolving. Across the U.S. and around the globe, legal professionals will come together to explore how AI, Large Language Models (LLMs), and advanced analytics are transforming eDiscovery, investigations, and trial preparation. These events aren’t just about tools—they’re about how people, process, and technology intersect in smarter, more defensible ways.
January 2026 is already setting the pace, leading the way with high-impact legal events unfolding across the globe. From Law Rocks! Geneva at Halles de l’Île, to the World Litigation Forum in Dubai, and the influential Sedona Conference Working Group 10 Annual Meeting, the year kicks off with powerful conversations around litigation, technology, and collaboration.
Building on that momentum, Right Discovery is partnering with Everlaw to bring a three-city California West Coast Roadshow to legal professionals navigating the evolving role of Generative AI in litigation. This multi-city series features CLE Lunch & Learn Legal Lab sessions in San Diego and Los Angeles—plus an after-hours networking experience in Orange County—designed to deliver practical GenAI guidance, ethical clarity, and meaningful connection. Registration is now open and space is limited.
Right Discovery + Everlaw’s West Coast Roadshow Registration & Details:
• Jan 21 – Lunch & Learn Legal Lab: CLE | San Diego
• Jan 22 – Lunch & Learn Legal Lab: CLE | Los Angeles
• Jan 22 – The Legal Connective | Orange County (After Hours)
March brings a powerhouse lineup. Legalweek 2026 (March 9–12 in New York) remains one of the industry’s most influential gatherings, with discussions centered on AI, data management, and the realities of modern litigation. Shortly after, ABA TECHSHOW (March 25–28 in Chicago) takes a broader view of legal technology trends, offering hands-on insights for firms and legal departments navigating digital transformation.
Rounding out March is the IAPP Summit (March 30–31 in Washington, DC), where privacy, AI governance, and regulatory strategy take the spotlight. As AI adoption accelerates, these conversations are becoming essential—not optional—for legal teams managing risk, compliance, and cross-border data challenges.
Later in the year, Relativity Fest returns to Chicago from September 29 to October 1, standing as one of the most anticipated eDiscovery events of 2026. From advanced workflows to collaboration app discovery and mobile data, Relativity Fest consistently sets the tone for where the industry is headed next—and how legal teams can get there faster.
Beyond the U.S., 2026 is truly global. Events like Relativity Fest London and Sydney, the NetDiligence Cyber Risk Summit in Canada, NUIX XLR8 / LOCAL in Frankfurt, and Future Lawyer Week in the UK reflect the international momentum behind legal innovation. Adding an exciting cultural twist, the Law Rocks global tour—spanning Abu Dhabi, cities across the United States, and Europe—blends music, community, and philanthropy in a way only the legal industry can.
Across all these events, several themes rise to the top: AI and LLMs in real-world legal use cases, discovery from mobile devices and collaboration platforms like Teams and Slack, and ongoing analysis of case law shaping predictive coding, AI-assisted review, and data production. These are the same topics we explore through Right Discovery’s blogs, CLE’s, and YouTube content—bridging education with practical application.
As we look ahead, one thing is clear: 2026 is not about standing still. It’s about showing up, leaning in, and connecting with peers who are shaping the future of law. Right Discovery proudly supports these events and the communities behind them, and we invite you to join us—whether in the room, online, or in conversation—as we make 2026 our boldest year yet.
