Thursday, January 16, 2025 - 8:30am to Friday, January 17, 2025 - 5:00pm

Location:

Welcome Reception:
Wednesday, January 15, 2025, 5:30 - 7:30 p.m.

Artificial Intelligence touches almost every aspect of the law. Several established Sedona Conference Working Groups are already tackling issues such as using AI in eDiscovery, AI and inventorship in patent law, and AI as a data privacy and cybersecurity risk. After two successful conferences on AI and the Law, The Sedona Conference will launch a new Working Group 13 with the dual mission of coordinating the AI-related activities of existing Working Groups and serving as an incubator to develop analyses and recommend principles and best practices addressing AI in other legal contexts.

We will meet in Phoenix, Arizona, on January 16-17, 2025. Finalizing the agenda for the meeting and the selection of dialogue leaders will take place over the next few weeks and will be posted on this page. We are opening registration early to allow as many people as possible, from a variety of different backgrounds and practice areas, to make plans to participate for two full days, starting with a welcome reception on Wednesday evening, January 15, and ending with adjournment at 5:00 p.m. on Friday, January 17 – more than our usual day-and-a-half meeting format.

We have obtained a very favorable room rate at the Camby Hotel for “high season” in Phoenix – $289 per night – with that rate extended for three nights prior and three nights after the conference, subject to availability, for those who would like to combine this serious professional development experience with a warm, sunny midwinter getaway. Details on reserving your room at this special group rate will be included in your registration confirmation email. Our room block will be held until December 13, but the hotel could fill up quickly. 

Circle the dates on your calendar, register now if you can, and be on the lookout for announcements of topics and dialogue leaders coming soon.

To attend the meeting or join other Working Group 13 activities, you must either be a member of The Sedona Conference Working Group Series in good standing or an employee of a Working Group Series Sponsor. Judges, full-time government employees, and academics in accredited non-profit educational institutions may obtain a complimentary WGS membership and enjoy special consideration in meeting registration fees.
