Migrated from eDJGroupInc.com. Author: Greg Buckles. Published: 2010-08-18 09:00:39 If you have not heard, the Nashville flooding forced the International Legal Technology Association (ILTA) to relocate to Las Vegas.

If that is not enough to get you checking for last minute Vegas flights, join the EDRM game show and social event:Who Wants to be and eDiscovery Guru?This event was previewed at the EDRM kick-off and is hosted by the over-the-top Jason Velasco of KPMG. It features over $3000 in prizes to be given away just by showing off your eDiscovery knowledge and prove to your peers that you have what it takes to be an “eDiscovery Guru.” Several contestants will be selected at random and asked multiple choice questions including this one:“There are four (4) primary ways to transfer data from the European Union listed in the EU Privacy Directive (95/46/EC). What are they?” So come join members of the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) for a fun-filled hour of entertainment, information and prizes.I am looking forward to this year’s conference and will be writing from the floor and afterward about all the new version releases and announcements that show up at these big shows. If you have not yet started budgeting, you want to consider Legal Tech New York, ARMA, ILTA and the Georgetown Advanced eDiscovery Institute.
