Electronic discovery conference: Citigate Central Hotel (formerly Carlton Crest Sydney), Sydney, NSW, Australia. IQPC.

The importance of electronic discovery…

…in Australia is growing at an alarming rate. With the new legislation that has recently passed, information management remains at the forefront of one of the most pressing issues for litigation experts when devising their record management systems.

Document retention & destruction have long been complex issues with widespread implications on companies regarding their obligations and the way in which they store and destroy documents. With more than 99% of information being created & stored electronically, litigants have become more sophisticated in their requests for document retention and production.

IQPC’s premier e-Discovery conference will examine the current state of litigation in Australia in light of the recent changes to the Victorian Document Destruction Act and its implications on your business.

e-Discovery 2007 will provide innovative international and local case studies and interactive sessions around the following topics:

  • The New Electronic Discovery Guidelines & Changes to the Victorian Document Destruction Act 2006
  • Implementing & Sustaining an Efficient & Cost Effective E Discovery Programs
  • Data Privacy & Compliance Requirements on Record Retention & Litigation
  • Proactively Managing IT Documents for Litigation Readiness & Electronic Evidence
  • Technology Challenges & Practical Solutions to Reduce Risk And Cost

Delegates at this conference will learn from highly respected judicial & corporate in house counsels; legal & litigation experts & other thought leaders to discuss debate and exchange ideas on how to improve your e discovery processes. Attendees will be able to take back to their organisation real tools and techniques for solving complex problems on the difficult legal & technological challenges associated with document retention and production.

Plus, our lead sponsor LDSI are kindly hosting a Cocktail party, to be held on Tuesday 25th September following Day 1 of the conference.
