Legal conferences have already begun following the rest of working life online. But as organizations like Rocket Matter, Litera and even the International Legal Technology Association (ILTA) all begin moving events to the internet, such conferences may test the theory that if you build it, they will come.

So far, so good. Earlier this month, Rocket Matter staged a virtual legal conference titled “Rocket Aid” that garnered 490 attendees and raised $22,250 for the United Way, Feeding America and Pro Bono Net. However, as big-name organizations like the Corporate Legal Operations Consortium (CLOC) and the International Legal Technology Association (ILTA) start putting online events of their own on the calendar, there’s also a risk that virtual conference fatigue starts setting in sooner rather than later.
