When Chris La Cour invited me to attend the inaugural
Carmel Valley eDiscovery Retreat I was a little hesitant to accept. I have attended many legal technology, legal education, and eDiscovery shows, both as a speaker and blogger, so I expected an inaugural event to be, well, not very good. I was wrong.

There were no problems with audio, acoustics, or scheduling. The event was well-attended but there was ample comfortable seating and spacious meeting areas to interact with other attendees. I am not alone in my praise. I heard quite a few other attendees lauding the venue and agenda. Some of the speakers really shared some valuable eDiscovery lessons. Here are just a few of the comments:
