About the Law Firm Research & Innovation Conference
The Law Firm Research & Innovation Conference is a focused, senior level forum for research, library, knowledge, and innovation leaders navigating the rapid convergence of data, AI, technology, and legal work.
Held on Tuesday, April 28, 2026, in New York City at the SUNY Global Center, this one day event is designed to bring together the professionals who increasingly serve as the connective interface layer of the modern law firm. These leaders sit at the intersection of people, data, workflows, and technology, and are central to how firms operationalize AI, data strategy, and knowledge at scale.
Who Will Attend?
Law firm research, library, and knowledge management leaders
Directors and senior managers responsible for AI, data, and innovation initiatives

Client and competitive intelligence professionals
Practice innovation and workflow leaders
Select firm executives engaged in data, AI, and operational strategy
What to Expect
Peer to Peer Conversations - Candid, off the record discussions among leaders facing the same organizational, structural, and strategic challenges.
Strategic Perspectives - Practical insights into how firms are reorganizing research, knowledge, data, and technology functions, and how decisions about ownership, governance, and accountability are being made.
Real World Use Cases - Concrete examples of how firms are supporting AI adoption, technology evaluation, data strategy, and workflow enablement through research and knowledge functions.
Facilitated Discussions - Thoughtful, moderated sessions focused on emerging patterns, friction points, and opportunities across firms of different sizes and structures.
Why Attend?
Timely Focus - Research, knowledge, IT, data, and AI no longer operate in clearly defined lanes. This event is designed specifically for leaders working through that convergence in real time.
Defined Community - Every attendee plays a direct role in shaping how attorneys access information, apply technology, and translate firm investments into usable insight and business value.
Practical Orientation - This is not about revisiting long standing debates. It is about how firms are actually operating today, what is working, what is not, and what effective leadership now requires.
Trusted Environment - LegalTech Connect events are intentionally curated to encourage openness, shared learning, and meaningful connection among peers.
