About
ILTA (International Legal Technology Association), headquartered in Chicago, organizes ILTACON as its conference for legal technology professionals. The conference billed itself as the only peer-created and peer-led conference for legal technology professionals, combining peer-driven programs, educational content, and face-to-face networking. Educational programming was billed as including learning pathways, panel discussions, hands-on training, and attendee-driven sessions developed by co-chairs and experienced ILTA members. ILTACON had grown large enough that its host venue, the Gaylord Opryland (the largest non-casino hotel in the US), could not accommodate all attendees, requiring overflow hotel blocks with daily shuttles.

ILTACON 2026 took place 23–27 August 2026 in Nashville, Tennessee at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center.
ILTACON was billed as drawing 1,600+ technology decision-makers from law firms, organizations, and legal departments worldwide. The event did not cap attendance, and the Gaylord Opryland (the largest non-casino hotel in the US) could not accommodate every attendee under one roof.
Attendees were billed as including leaders, managers, and decision-making legal technologists from small to large law firms, corporate and government law departments, academia, and G100/G200 firms.
Attending pays off when a conference concentrates the vendor evaluation, peer benchmarking, and hands-on sessions that would otherwise take separate calls and trips throughout the year. For legal-technology leaders and IT professionals, ILTACON's draw is the density of peers and vendors under one roof rather than any single session.
ILTACON 2026 was held at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center, 2800 Opryland Drive, Nashville, TN 37214.
It was most useful for legal technology leaders, law firm CIOs, knowledge managers and litigation support staff who needed peer-led learning and vendor access in one place, since the program was built around peer-created sessions, hands-on training and an exhibit hall with over 100 sponsors and exhibitors including Harvey, iManage and Thomson Reuters. With 1,600+ technology decision-makers billed and a single pass at $2,999, it suited buyers evaluating products and practitioners wanting peer contacts; lawyers with little technology role, or small budgets, may have found the exhibit-hall-only pass a better fit than the full program.
Attendees at legal technology conferences usually wear business casual, such as slacks and collared shirts or blouses, with comfortable shoes since the Gaylord Opryland is a very large resort venue that involved a lot of walking in August heat outdoors.
