The Legal Services Corporation celebrated the 25th anniversary of its Innovations in Technology Conference and the Technology Initiative Grants program this month in Phoenix. This year's event marked the retirement of Glenn Rawdon, a pivotal figure in establishing the conference and shaping technology in legal aid. Rawdon reflected on its growth from a modest meeting of 32 attendees in 2000 to a major event with 700 participants. The TIG program transitioned from funding simple website projects to supporting advanced technology for better access to legal services, demonstrating significant evolution in the sector.
\"From the conference's humble beginnings as a gathering of 32 people in New Orleans in 2000, it has grown into what many now consider the premier global event focused on technology and access to justice, this year drawing 700 attendees and 150 presenters from around the world.\"
\"The TIG program, which started with a $7.5 million budget funding mainly website projects, evolved to support more sophisticated technology initiatives aimed at expanding access to legal services.\"
