How did we ever survive without web conferencing? Remember when we had to wait until a vendor rep came to town in order to see their new product? No more, thank goodness.
ILTA, the International Legal Technology Association (ILTA), formerly called Lawnet has been making great use of web conferencing by repeating, via Live Meeting, several successful programs offered at their annual meeting held in August. I attended 2 of these web programs, "Jumpstarting eLearning" and "How West KM Was Won" and they were both excellent, and included a level of technical detail that I've often wished for when attending other conferences.
If you're a member, and you missed the annual conference, AND you missed the webinar, that's okay, because they're recorded. So even if your schedule is tight, you still have every opportunity to view the session from the ILTA web site. (See "Communications - Past Meeting Transcripts.") What a great member benefit.
If you're interested in legal technology, you need to join ILTA. To join ILTA, your firm must purchase a membership, the cost of which is based on the number of attorneys in the firm, then any employee can join at no additional cost. Now if they'd just stop having the annual meeting in Florida in August!
