EVOLVE 2026 Wrap-up

Thank you to everyone involved in EVOLVE 2026!

A Word From Our Co-Chairs

After an amazing EVOLVE 2026, our Co-Chairs Josh Wulf and Melissa Jester shared their reflections on this year’s incredible event.

Josh Wulf

“With over 500 attendees, 26 sessions, 2 keynotes, and countless networking opportunities at a spacious, beautiful venue, EVOLVE was our most successful yet.”

This kind of success could only happen because of the major contributions of our ILTA volunteers, speaker volunteers, the investment of our sponsors, and the amazing talents and tireless work of our ILTA staff.

We brought together many of the information security and generative AI leaders in the legal technology field for three full days of education that sparked conversations lasting long into the night — and well beyond the conference itself.

We can't wait to see you again at EVOLVE 2027 in Savannah!”

Melissa Jester

“ILTA EVOLVE is always a powerful reminder of how strong our community is when we come together to share ideas, push each other, and learn from real experiences.”

From the sessions to the hallway conversations, this year showed just how much we can accomplish when we lean into resilience, collaboration, and impactful innovation.

Together, we sparked ideas that will carry forward long after this week.

We can’t wait to build on this momentum and see you all next year in Savannah, GA!”
