The AI 2035 Symposium is a three-day event organized by the Chicago Bar Association, scheduled for May 11-13, 2026, at Venue SIX10 in downtown Chicago. This symposium aims to explore the intersection of artificial intelligence and the legal profession, bringing together legal professionals, technology innovators, judiciary members, and industry leaders to discuss the transformative impact of AI on legal practice and the administration of justice.
The event will feature keynote addresses from leading AI experts, interactive Continuing Legal Education (CLE) sessions, live technology demonstrations, and panel discussions on emerging ethical challenges. Topics include implementing AI tools in legal practice, understanding regulatory developments, and shaping the future of the legal profession in an increasingly digital world. Attendees will also have the opportunity to participate in breakout sessions across three tracks—Litigation, Transactional, and Administrative/Operational—to delve into AI's impact across various practice areas.
Networking opportunities are designed to foster collaboration across practice areas, allowing participants to connect with peers, share insights, and build relationships that can drive innovation and adaptation in their respective fields. The symposium is ideal for legal professionals, technologists, and industry leaders who are keen to understand and influence how AI will reshape legal research, client service, case management, judicial decision-making, and access to justice over the next decade.
The event is open to legal professionals, technology innovators, judiciary members, and industry leaders interested in the evolving role of AI in the legal sector. Attendees will gain practical insights into implementing AI tools in their practice, understand regulatory developments, and participate in shaping the future of the legal profession in an increasingly digital world.
