Don't Miss These Speakers at Everlaw Summit '24
Attorneys know better than anyone that the smallest details are the ones that end up making the difference in a case.
Whether it’s a fabricated email picked out amongst a sea of documents, or a private note surfaced through diligent review, there’s no telling where a breakthrough will come from, and it’s up to the attorneys to always be prepared.
Thanks to advances in technology like generative AI, attorneys now have tools at their disposal to help them uncover the most crucial elements of their case and get to the heart of their matters, faster.
At Everlaw Summit ‘24, happening this October 22-24 in San Francisco, we’re excited to bring together leading legal professionals who know how to find what matters in the face of overwhelming information. Here are a few you can't miss.
Shankar Vedantam Focuses on the Hidden Brain
As an award-winning journalist, Shankar Vedantam has dedicated himself to shedding light on the unseen forces that shape our world. His podcast Hidden Brain is one of the most popular in the world, with over 2 million downloads per week, and combines science, data, and psychology to present ideas to listeners in unique ways.
From diving into the effects of air pollution on human behavior, detailing the benefits of sharing good news, or outlining what humans can learn from the communal behavior of bumblebees, Vedantam knows how to combine insight with entertainment.

In his keynote address at this year’s Summit, Vedantam will dive into the invisible forces that influence everything around us, from the dynamics of a courtroom argument to our ability to adapt to new and changing environments.
For legal professionals who are constantly at the front lines of change, and are asked to continuously innovate on the fly, this talk will hold particularly relatable truths.
Kevin Roose Returns with Even More AI
At last year’s Everlaw Summit, Kevin Roose, technology columnist for The New York Times, host of the incredibly popular Hard Fork podcast, and author of three bestselling books, teamed with Latitude Legal’s Alex Su for a standing room only discussion on how to futureproof your career in the age of AI.
This year, Roose is returning to expound upon his talk and dive deeper into the potential behind generative AI and the rapid developments in the technology and industry over the past year.

As detailed in his book Futureproof: 9 Rules for Humans in the Age of Automation, although technology comes with both potential and pitfalls, it’s up to humans to responsibly manage its implementation to maximize its value.
This perhaps most applies to the legal profession, where some have already gotten in trouble with courts for irresponsible use of generative AI, and there’s still a lot of caution around the technology, even as legal professionals almost simultaneously embrace it due to its ability to increase efficiency and lower costs.
Expert Speakers from Across the Profession
If these two leading minds aren’t enough, we have plenty more reasons why you should attend Everlaw Summit ‘24.
