The Sedona Conference Working Group 1 Midyear Meeting 2019 was a pivotal gathering focused on advancing the field of electronic document retention and production. Organized by The Sedona Conference, a nonprofit institute dedicated to the study of law and policy, the event took place on May 2–3, 2019, at The Ballantyne Hotel in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The meeting's agenda encompassed a range of critical topics, including the admissibility of electronically stored information (ESI), managing eDiscovery in small cases, the role of artificial intelligence in litigation, cross-border data transfer mechanisms, crafting specific eDiscovery requests, privilege and privilege logging, the benefits of diversity in eDiscovery, and updates on eDiscovery case law. A highlight was the Judicial Roundtable, featuring esteemed judges who provided insights from the bench.
Attendees had opportunities to engage in discussions, attend sessions led by dialogue leaders, and participate in networking events such as the welcome reception on May 1. The event also included the presentation of The William P. Butterfield Award for Excellence in eDiscovery Writing, recognizing outstanding contributions to the field.
Legal professionals involved in eDiscovery, data management, and related areas would find this meeting particularly beneficial. The event offered a platform to stay abreast of developments, share best practices, and collaborate with peers and experts in the field.
