Not really. But after spending a full day at the Executive Counsel Institute's E-Discovery Exchange I find myself not wanting to reveal much about what I learned. In its second year in San Francisco, The Exchange had approximately 4 times more participants (120ish) and that is good because it is the audience participation that makes this format shine. We have all experienced the usual conference. A panel of experts, curated by a vendor, discuss some of the people, processes, and technology, used to deal with the session topic, in the way the vendor believes is best or, at least, best for its product. By the end of the day, or even the hour, it can be both dull and disappointing. This is especially true if you happen to be someone who keeps up with the industry on a regular basis and was in search of more unbiased information. The Exchange is different.
