Why Denver, 9-11 September?
The 2025 Legal-Tech Summit is a three-day, practitioner-only gathering that fuses frontier research with hands-on labs. No vendor pitches—just 350 seats in a carbon-neutral venue and an open-source “playbook” released after every session.
- Frontier Curriculum (AI-Infused, Court-Ready)
– 25 closed-door clinics led by sitting magistrates, FTC technologists and LLM-red-team leads.
– Live sandbox: prompt-engineer a small-language-model to redact PII under the new EU AI Act templates; export the Docker file.
– Post-quantum hash verification workshop: chain SHA-3/256 to SIP-TLS 1.3 for tamper-proof mobile evidence.
Take-away: ready-to-file motion templates and Python notebooks MIT-licensed on GitHub. - Network Intelligence, Not Name-Tag Roulette
– “Problem-pitch” circles: 7-min micro-talks where you surface one case bottleneck; crowd votes on fixes in real time.
– Encrypted attendee graph: opt-in to share only your GitHub handle; the server issues pairwise introductions based on overlapping repo stars.
– Slack bridge stays open for 12 months; past alumni report 38 % faster expert-witness sourcing. - Community Sprint & Shared Standards
– Evening hackathon produces a draft OASIS specification for cross-border GDPR–CCPA data-request manifests.
– Volunteer scribes turn keynote Q&A into a living HTML spec; you leave with contributor credit.
– Zero-swag policy: carbon offsets and open-access publication replace tote bags and USB drives.
