"TECHSHOW has historically been directed more toward small and solo law firms. Legalweek is more of a big or at least bigger law firm show. But it's always wise to avoid stereotypes."
"There is a strict no selling from the podium rule and few of the sessions are sponsored by vendors although vendor representatives may be and often are speakers."
"The show was criticized unjustly in my view for the facility and the move. It was a more open and roomy venue and unlike the Javits Convention Center where this year's Legalweek was held, there are hotels, bars, and restaurants close by."
TECHSHOW takes place from March 25 to 28 at the McCormick Convention Center in Chicago, catering primarily to small and solo law firms. Unlike Legalweek, which targets larger firms, TECHSHOW fosters a more informal and collegial environment. The event prohibits sales pitches from the podium, focusing instead on educational content. With over 2,200 attendees and 120 exhibitors, it is one of the largest legal tech shows. The venue change to McCormick Place has been criticized, but it offers a more spacious setting with nearby amenities.
