Lexpo is Europe's leading legal innovation event, celebrating its 10th anniversary on June 8 and 9, 2026, in Amsterdam. Since its inception in 2016, Lexpo has become the premier gathering for the Continental European legal community, bringing together forward-thinking law firms, in-house legal teams, and technology providers to explore the future of legal services.
The 2026 edition focuses on "The Human Advantage," emphasizing that successful transformation in the legal industry depends on people, not just products. Key topics include artificial intelligence, automation, and the integration of smarter tools into legal work, with a particular emphasis on how organizations can effectively adopt these technologies and lead their teams through continual change.
Attendees can expect a range of sessions exploring the mindsets, behaviors, and change-management capabilities required for successful technology adoption. The event will also highlight the irreplaceable human skills—such as empathy, critical thinking, judgment, and communication—that remain central as AI accelerates routine tasks. Networking opportunities abound, with a dynamic sponsor floor and sessions accredited by the Dutch Bar Association, allowing Dutch lawyers to earn PO-points contributing to their professional development requirements.
Lexpo is ideal for law firms, in-house legal teams, and technology providers eager to stay ahead in the rapidly evolving legal landscape. Participants will gain practical insights, engage with industry leaders, and explore cutting-edge developments in legal technology and innovation.
