One of the largest annual legal tech conferences in the U.S. drew more attendees this year than ever, according to organizers, underscoring the dramatic growth of the legal tech industry and its increasing importance to the practice of law. The International Legal Technology Association's annual event this week at Disney World in Orlando, Fla., ILTACON, was on track to hit a total of 1,850 participants, up from 1,715 at last year's conference, which was held outside Washington. ILTACON is considered one of the premier legal technology gatherings of the year. The total in Orlando included 800 first-time attendees and exhibit booths from about 200 legal tech vendors. But the statistic that appeared seemed to energize top ILTA officials speaking to the press most, including ILTA CEO Joy Heath Rush, was that the conference has a growing international draw.
