of format which is predicated on eDiscovery, has reached a plateau where eDiscovery has become so mainstream that I think it's well understood by the legal community and it's
fairly recent, if you go back 10 years it was a very new and interesting and important technology driving a lot
of development in the industry, but in the meantime what ALM built was the single
largest collection
of individuals from the legal sector at any one event, which is very interesting to me because it's only based on really the technology elements
of the legal industry.
