9:30 – 11:00

Opening Keynote: Context Changes Everything

The next era of legal work will not be defined by who has access to AI. It will be defined by whose AI has the right context.

Every great legal outcome depends on more than the document in front of you. It depends on the clientโ€™s history, the matterโ€™s evolution, the firmโ€™s precedent, the people involved, the policies that govern the work, and the knowledge the organisation has built over time. Until now, those connections have been difficult to see โ€“ and nearly impossible for AI to fully understand.

Speakers:
Kerri Dearing, SVP International, Heath Harris, VP Applied AI and Enterprise Transformation

10:15 – 11:00

The Reimagined NetDocuments Experience: A First Look

The way legal professionals interact with their work is changing. Be among the first to experience the next generation of NetDocuments โ€“ a modern, intelligent experience designed to help you find what matters faster, navigate work more intuitively, and put AI and institutional knowledge.

In this session, you’ll see what’s available today, get an exclusive preview of what’s coming next, and learn how your organisation can adopt the new experience at the pace that’s right for your firm or department.

Speakers:
Zane Harker, Director, Product, Hayley Leung, Lead Solutions Expert

Breakout: Review Hundreds of Documents in Minutes with NetDocuments Tabular Review

What if document review looked more like working in a spreadsheet than reading documents one by one? Discover how NetDocuments tabular review helps legal professionals instantly compare clauses, extract key information, identify exceptions, and analyse large document collections in minutes instead of days. You’ll explore real customer scenarios across law firms, corporate legal departments, and government organisations, and leave ready to put this powerful new capability to work.ย 

Speakers:
Colleen Baehrend, Legal Solutions Director, Hayley Leung, Lead Solutions Expert

11:30 – 12:15

Breakout: Scaling Legal AI While Controlling Costs: Lessons from the Legal Context Engineering Benchmark Report

Legal teams don’t have an AI accuracy problem or a cost problem in isolation – they have both, and most firms assume solving one means sacrificing the other. NetDocuments’ new Legal Context Engineering Benchmark (LCEB) tested that assumption directly: holding the model, agent, and questions constant while varying only the structured context available to the AI. The results show the path to how legal organizations can scale AI with confidence by leveraging context to get to the right answer at lower cost. Join us for an in depth discussion of the importance of context engineering in legal, including steps you can take in your organization to build readiness.

Speakers:
Heath Harris, VP Applied AI and Enterprise Transformation, Miriam Rihani, Legal Innovation Partner

You’ll leave with a clear understanding of how to get started, where to find the greatest value, and how to build confidence as AI becomes part of your team’s everyday work.

Speakers:
Zane Harker, Director, Product, Hayley Leung, Lead Solutions Expert

12:30 – 1:15

Breakout: Whose Knowledge Is It Anyway? Rethinking Institutional Memory in the Age of AI

Knowledge management has always been about capturing what your organisation knows and putting it in front of the people who need it, but AI is changing both what’s possible and what’s expected. This session explores different ways to think about knowledge management in an AI-enabled world, from treating institutional memory as a living, connected asset rather than a static repository, to rethinking who’s responsible for curating it, plus practical ways to jump-start readiness with advanced tools that can identify, structure and surface institutional knowledge far faster than traditional manual approaches.ย 

Speakers:
Colleen Baehrend, Legal Solutions Director

Breakout: Adapt, Adopt, Innovate: Turning Change into Competitive Advantage

People, process, technology, and culture. It takes all four working in harmony to enable your organisation to adapt to change, successfully adopt new tools and practices, and innovate to maintain and expand your competitive advantage. In this session we’ll discuss how organisations like yours are overcoming common challenges, seizing opportunities and driving meaningful change.ย 

Speakers:
Colleen Baehrend, Legal Solutions Director

14:15 – 15:00

Breakout: Demystifying Model Context Protocol: A Practical Guide to Leveraging MCP for AI Interoperability

Regardless of your level of expertise, you will find value in this session focusing on the technical considerations and recommended best practices for leveraging Model Context Protocol to connect AI tools, users and the context both require to do their best work. We will start with the basics (what is MCP, how does it work) and progress toward more advanced considerations around governance and auditability.

Heath Harris, VP Applied AI and Enterprise Transformation

Breakout: The Human Side of Innovation: Turning Buy-In into Lasting Change

Technology alone doesn’t drive transformation, people do. This session widens the lens on innovation and adoption, covering AI alongside the people, processes and culture that determine whether new tools and ways of working actually stick. Featuring practical perspectives from NetDocuments experts and a customer, you’ll explore how to build buy-in, evolve processes, and invest in learning and development so your organisation can adopt new technology with confidence and keep innovating as the landscape continues to change.

Speakers:
Colleen Baehrend, Legal Solutions Director

15:15 – 16:00

Breakout: Advancing Core Document Management

Great document management is still the foundation everything else is built on โ€“ and legal work has never been more collaborative, or more complex. This session brings together recent and planned advancements across NetDocuments core document management capabilities, including email management, an evolving user experience, and collaboration tools that help teams work across practice groups, with clients, or alongside outside counsel without sacrificing security or governance. We’ll cover what’s new, what’s coming next, and how these enhancements work together to help legal teams organise, share and access their work more efficiently, whatever their role orย organization.
