The Electronic Discovery Institute (EDI) is a non-profit organization dedicated to education, leadership, service, advocacy, and research at the intersection of law and technology.
In May 2026, EDI hosted a Mid-Year Meeting in New York City, bringing together over 100 litigators, thought leaders, and discovery professionals. The event featured deep-dive panel discussions on the future of litigation and collaborative brainstorming sessions. A highlight was a panel on "Moonshot thinking in legal," moderated by Alex Ponce de Leon, with co-panelists Erica Swainson and Jessica Escalera. The day concluded with a networking cocktail hour overlooking the city.
The event was hosted at Google's Hudson 315 office in New York City, providing a modern and collaborative environment for attendees. The networking cocktail hour offered a relaxed setting for professionals to connect and discuss industry trends.
This event was ideal for legal professionals seeking to stay ahead of industry developments, engage in meaningful discussions, and expand their professional network.
