Benefits of Attending

Electronic data is tantamount to DNA in the modern world. While this fact is of seemingly little consequence to those without discovery issues and needs, effective storage and compliance is a glaring necessity when a potential situation does arise. In the increasingly sophisticated technological landscape of contemporary business, effectiveness and efficiency have never been more important.

With the global economy continuously developing, the evolving electronic discovery arena presents numerous challenges for everyone associated. To counter these needs, the International Quality & Productivity Center (IQPC) has put together the 5th E-Discovery Conference, scheduled to take place from May 5th-7th, 2008 in Las Vegas, NV.

Attend this conference to hear on key issues affecting e-discovery, including but not limited to:

• Examining the need for a comprehensive e-discovery policy to effectively bridge potential communications gaps between various professions, including the emergence of such positions as “technology counsel”
• Analyzing how to deploy meaningful, memorable training on topics related to e-discovery
• Discussing heightened expectations of e-discovery compliance in mergers & acquisitions both at home and abroad
• Maintaining the veracity of electronic evidence for discovery and trial
• Preventing spoliation and knowing how to supervise e-discovery requests/orders and installing proper incident response

These are just some of the topics to be approached in this well-established and respected forum. Managing compliance and regulatory concerns while controlling costs & risks can be exceedingly difficult when improperly stored. As history has shown, the consequences of not being able to do so can be massive.

Maintaining efficiency is a daunting task for any corporation, law firm or solutions provider. This event provides the opportunity to be proactive in taking control of information in your company. Register today and swing by the entertainment capital of the world for the 5th E-Discovery Conference – you can’t afford to miss it!
