Kevin Walker (Centari CEO) will demonstrate how to develop a practical data strategy that balances generative AI opportunities with real-world constraints. 

Learn to identify and capture key data from matters, emails, and documents at scale, while demonstrating ROI through metrics that resonate with firm leadership, showing how improved data accessibility drives revenue and client satisfaction.

Sean Monahan and Milou Meltzer (Harbor Directors) will discuss how firms have taken their first steps in AI strategy: piloting tools, drafting policies, and launching internal initiatives. But the next phase requires more than experimentation. 

We'll explore how firms can develop repeatable approaches to evaluation, training, and change management, what firms are doing to prepare for a broader wave of adoption, and how to position your teams, and your clients, for what’s next.

Yannic Kilcher (DeepJudge CTO) and Anne McNulty (DeepJudge SVP Customer Success) will share how AI agents and workflows integrate with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and why law firms are increasingly building their own custom agents and workflows, using internal data, tailored to their specific needs.

You will then develop workflow proposals in small breakout groups for participants to vote on the winning proposal.

Remember when KM meant curating precedents or templates for lawyers? Now, many firms are rushing to pour documents into AI systems, hoping for magic to happen. But throwing content at LLMs isn't a strategy — it's abdicating our role as knowledge architects.

Horace Wu (Syntheia CEO) will explore the spectrum from general to custom AI tools and how they integrate with existing KM frameworks. We'll discuss capturing meaningful data without disrupting workflows, designing processes that complement AI capabilities, and identifying the genuine gaps that today's tools don't address.

Otto Zastrow (Midpage CEO) and James Curbow (Head of Product) will demonstrate new ways of conducting legal research, enabled by caselaw data APIs, and show you how to build one yourself, using ChatGPT.

Ryan Alshak (Laurel CEO) will discuss how to use timekeeping data to understand what workflows to deploy agents to, and what workflows to focus human capital on.

Ozan Yalti (DraftWise CSO), Tony Mauriello (Draftwise GC + Head Product Architect), and Emily Lew (Draftwise Client Strategy Consultant) will share what law firms can do to better prepare for using AI to identify relevant precedents, compare third-party contracts against internal guidelines, and highlight potential issues.

Why traditional tech will continue to drive critical workflows in the age of Gen AI.  Will Norton (SimplyAgree CEO) will discuss how proven tools that have clearer ROI, faster implementation, lower risk, and greater immediate impact, such as electronic signatures and old-school machine learning, can be leveraged to solve critical everyday workflows for legal professionals.

Pat Utz (Abstract CEO) and Jessica Bowden (VP of Engineering) will explore how legal teams can embrace the probabilistic nature of AI models—including CNNs, RNNs, and transformers—to make more confident decisions in uncertainty-rich workflows. The session will cover when to build versus buy AI tools, how model and prompt structure shape outcomes, and what this means for resource allocation and the evolving path toward AGI.

As law firms shift their core systems from on-prem to cloud, KM and Innovation leaders are being pulled into the center of vendor vetting, data governance, and security workflows, often without clear ownership or cross-functional alignment. At the same time, AI tools are advancing quickly, offering a glimpse of what’s possible when firm knowledge systems are agent-ready. 

Megan McMillin (Practice Innovation Manager, Cleary Gottlieb) and Scott Kelly (Director of AI & Search, NetDocuments) will explore what it takes to get your DMS, taxonomy, and permissioning model “agent-ready,” and why most firms aren’t there yet. We’ll get candid about the governance breakdowns holding teams back and outline what KM & Innovation leaders must do to move forward.

Alex Zilberman (Chamelio CEO) will discuss what you need to do to prepare to pointing an AI engine at the firm’s historic contracts to generate client‑specific playbooks that reduce review time, from ingesting legacy agreements to surfacing tailored fallback language to guide negotiations.

Nnamdi Emelifeonwu (Definely CEO) will share how to structure the KM context you collect about your matters, to enrich the contract and clause models when drafting new documents, using Gen AI magic.
