The Sedona Conference Working Group 1 Annual Meeting 2017 was a pivotal gathering focused on advancing the development and understanding of electronic document retention and production. Organized by The Sedona Conference, a nonprofit research and educational institute dedicated to the advanced study of law and policy, this event brought together leading legal professionals, judges, and industry experts to engage in dialogue and share insights on emerging challenges in eDiscovery and information governance.
Key topics addressed during the meeting included the evolution of proportionality in discovery, defensible disposition and information governance, and the impact of new technologies on electronic document management. Sessions featured in-depth discussions on recent case law, best practices for managing electronically stored information, and strategies for implementing effective information governance programs.

These gatherings facilitated meaningful connections among attendees, fostering collaboration and the exchange of ideas.
