Relativity International Legal Technology Association Black Hat Events

⏳ Two days until kicks off in Vienna, and one conversation there deserves a spot on your calendar.

As organizations embrace across their workflows, the leaders separating themselves from the pack are the ones who can confidently answer one question.

⁉️ When regulators, auditors, or opposing counsel ask how an algorithm reached a decision, can you explain it?

Closing the gap between deploying AI and defending it—that’s the opportunity in front of legal teams right now. And it’s exactly what HaystackID® and expert Anya Koroylov will tackle on stage this week.

🎤 “Taming the Algorithm: Global AI Laws, Risks & Strategies for Multinational Corporations”
📅 Thursday, July 16 | 11:15 AM – 12:15 PM CET
🏨 Le Méridien Vienna | Vienna, Austria

Anya joins fellow global leaders to break down how multinational corporations can keep pace with a fast-moving regulatory landscape, from the EU AI Act to emerging frameworks across APAC and the Americas.

If you’re attending , our team will be on-site, talking practical frameworks that are:

✅ Defensible when scrutiny arrives.
✅ Consistent across jurisdictions.
✅ Designed around how legal teams actually operate.

The organizations building AI governance now are the ones who’ll be leading the conversation later, not reacting to it.

👋 Find us in Vienna. Let’s talk about deploying AI responsibly, on your terms.

📱Digital evidence is becoming larger, more complex, and more central to investigations.

Imagine a criminal investigation involving multiple cell phones, body-worn camera footage, cloud accounts, surveillance video, text messages, and social media data.

📑 The evidence may hold the answers—but finding the truth quickly and defensibly is becoming increasingly difficult.

🎤 Learn how AI can help prosecutors manage digital evidence without sacrificing defensibility during the expert presentation, "AI in Discovery: Managing Digital Evidence in the Age of Generative Technology," at the National District Attorneys Association (NDAA) Summer Conference.

📆 Tuesday, July 14, 2026, 8:30 AM – 9:00 AM ET

During this session, HaystackID’s Ashish Prasad, John Wilson, and fellow legal experts will explore practical, real-world workflows for using AI to collect, cull, organize, and prioritize digital evidence while ensuring every result is validated through human review.

🔍 That same philosophy is built into HaystackID® VALID™ (Verification and Legal Identification of Digital Media).

VALID combines advanced digital forensics with rigorous validation methodologies to authenticate digital evidence, detect manipulated or AI-generated media, preserve the chain of custody, and support defensible investigations from collection through production.

💬 According to Wilson, “a deepfake inquiry isn't simply an image check—it's a comprehensive evidentiary examination. Our unwavering standard is continuity, transparency, and defensibility from intake to testimony."

Let’s talk at the NDAA Summer Conference at Table 19 about enhancing how your team supports digital evidence with VALID ✨.

✨ AI can accelerate document review, but how do you prove your results will hold up?

That's the question teams are asking as AI moves from experimental tool to everyday workflow, and it's the question our expert panel will tackle head-on.

Join us in less than 2️⃣ weeks for the HaystackID® webcast, "From Hype to Workflow: Insights from Experts on the Impact of AI on eDiscovery,” for a candid conversation about what's actually working in AI-driven review today, and what's coming next.

📅 Wednesday, July 22, 2026
⏰ 11 AM CDT / 12 PM EDT

This isn't a high-level overview; it's a practical look at implementation.

⛏️ Panelists will dig into how AI is reshaping search and review workflows in live matters, which metrics matter most when evaluating AI-driven review, and how teams are validating AI-assisted productions to withstand scrutiny.

Whether you're already deploying these tools or still evaluating them, you'll leave with a clearer picture of where the technology stands and where it's headed.

🎤 Phil Favro, Founder of Favro Law PLLC, will lead the panel with seasoned industry experts including:

➕ Esther Birnbaum, EVP of Data Intelligence, HaystackID
➕ Aleida Gonzalez, Global Advisory Managing Director, HaystackID
➕ Jim Sullivan, Chief Executive Officer, EDiscovery AI
➕ Cristin Traylor, Senior Director, AI Transformation and Law Firm Strategy, Relativity
