At Legal Geek we like to do things a little differently. Think TED Talk-style speakers that get straight to the point, the startup village to end all startup villages and fresh, innovative food served straight from a giant avocado. If you haven\u2019t already confirmed your spot at the Legal Geek Conference 2019\u00a0register for your ticket today.<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Last year, our flagship event attracted a massive 2,000 attendees from 40 countries, with over 140 international industry-leading speakers – we even trended on Twitter! <\/span>This year, the Legal Geek team has worked hard to ensure the event is even bigger and better than ever before. In our continued quest for quality, we’ve taken over an extra floor in The Old Truman Brewery, without increasing the number of attendees. So what\u2019s new, what can you expect, and why do you definitely not want to miss out on the Legal Geek Conference 2019?<\/span><\/p>\n

  1. Short, sharp talks with speakers at the top of their game<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    We think the most interesting parts of a half-hour speech can be summarised in less than 10 minutes, without notes, and definitely delivered sans tie. To combat this and keep your energy high, we only give our speakers 8 minutes to get their points across! It makes the \u2018conference\u2019 element of our events fast, furious, innovative, and jam-packed full of only the most vital insight.

    1. No futurists, just facts<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      The exciting world of LawTech has changed so much over the past 5 years that it\u2019s completely futile to try and predict what it\u2019s going to look like in another 10. That\u2019s the beauty of it all. Our speakers want to keep you one step ahead by drilling down on the LegalTech and innovation that is being delivered right now and how it could change in the immediate future.<\/span><\/p>\n

      1. We\u2019re a comfort-first conference<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Leave the ties at home. Just as much as Legal Geek is about learning, connecting and inspiring, we want you to feel relaxed and ready to go. That\u2019s why we ask you to forget your sales pitch and make some friends, dress comfortably, and why our name badges don\u2019t include job titles. Hierarchy doesn\u2019t exist at our Conferences to ensure a level networking platform and leave everyone feeling at ease. We believe a student can have as big an impact on the legal profession in the next 5 years as a managing partner.<\/span><\/p>\n

        1. The only way is (start)up, baby<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Legal Geek exists because the LawTech startup world is so dynamic and fast-moving, it can be hard to keep track of. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve curated a Startup Village (and live demo area) of the best and most innovative startups in the game so you can hear about the latest developments in the LegalTech space straight from the front line. At the same time, we are passionate about helping startups to thrive by granting them an unparalleled opportunity to rub shoulders with the biggest movers, shakers, and mentors in the global legal tech and innovation space. Head down to our StartUp Village and be prepared for an afternoon of connecting, sharing and upskilling!<\/span><\/p>\n

          1. A dedicated concentration station<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Need to catch up on some work during the day? No worries! We\u2019ve made sure our amazing venue at The Old Truman Brewery has a quiet space for meetings and checking up on emails. To navigate your day and make sure you don\u2019t miss out on any events, download our digital event app on the day\u00a0(details of app sent to ticket holders) so you can plan your time with ease! Got to love a bit of tech.<\/span><\/p>\n

            1. Lean, green, legal machine<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Learn, network and share with a guilt-free, eco-friendly conscience. At Legal Geek, we work hard to reduce waste, plastic and our environmental impact. In fact, at this year\u2019s Conference we are aiming to be single-use plastic as we honour our commitment to sustainability.<\/span><\/p>\n
