Registration Underway for 2018 LSC Innovations in Technology Conference
Registration is underway for the Legal Services Corporation's 2018 Innovations in Technology Conference (formerly the Technology Initiative Grants (TIG) Conference) will be held January 10-12, 2018 in New Orleans, LA.
The conference brings together leaders from across the justice community to explore innovative ways of using technology to promote better access to services and ensure high-quality legal representation for low-income people. It is expected that over 300 participants, including technologists, legal aid advocates, executive directors, court personnel, academics, and other professionals will be attending the conference.
This event also provides an opportunity to network with a national community of colleagues and to cultivate project ideas that could lead to successful applications to LSC’s technology grant program.
The conference will offer more than 40 breakout sessions plus affinity groups and networking opportunities. Sessions are organized into tracks of related content, including:
- Web-Based Delivery
- Data Analysis
- Intake and Triage
- IT and Internal Operations
