EDiscovery Day 2025: A Moment for Legal Professionals to Connect, Learn, and Celebrate Together

EDiscovery Day 2025 is a chance to step back from the daily grind and appreciate how central electronically stored information (ESI) has become to modern legal work. Exterro launched the event in 2015 to spotlight the professionals who handle digital evidence and to mark its growing role in the legal process. What started as a simple acknowledgement has now become an annual touchpoint for ten years, where legal, compliance, and technology teams come together to share lessons and sharpen their craft. Organizations like ACEDS (The Association of Certified E-Discovery Specialists) EDRM (The Electronic Discovery Reference Model), and eDiscovery Today now partner with Exterro to keep the momentum going and expand access to shared knowledge.

This year’s sessions on December 4th offer a mix of webinars, panels, and live conversations around topics that matter: AI in discovery, data privacy, and how new forms of electronic evidence are changing investigations. The source’s author notes that most events are free, especially virtual ones, and that many in-person gatherings, often informal meetups or happy hours, are free as well. Workshops that include CLE credit may carry a small fee, and registration is usually required to access event links and materials.

The event’s roots trace back to the 2015 amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, which formally recognized the role of ESI in legal suits. That turning point helped shape today’s ecosystem of attorneys, litigation support professionals, corporate counsel, investigators, and technical specialists who make eDiscovery possible.

For legal technology teams, eDiscovery isn’t just a date on the calendar. It’s a reminder that the work of handling digital evidence is collaborative, constantly evolving, and worth celebrating with the people who know it best.
