Read MoreMaking Predictive Coding Pizza at the DESI V Conference in Rome
In this show, we talk about the upcoming DESI V conference in Rome, Italy which will focus on predictive coding. DESI is a more technical conference than the typical CLE program and you are just as apt to meet a thought leader who is a lawyer as you are likely to meet the chief scientist behind software you might be using or might be hitting the market soon. It is a pure and academic experience which I highly recommend after attending DESI IV in Pittsburgh, PA in 2011.
