Dispatch from ABA TECHSHOW

Team Clio at ABA TECHSHOW 2013
We’ve just wrapped up three exhilarating (and exhausting) days at TECHSHOW.
 
Once again Clio was the talk of the show, and the Thursday night Clio Meetup was a smashing success.
 
I thought I’d share a few highlights for those that weren’t able to attend.
 
This year’s TECHSHOW marked a special anniversary for Clio: five years ago Rian and I launched Clio’s beta at ABA TECHSHOW 2008. At this first TECHSHOW, Clio prompted both admiration and fear: half the attendees approached us thrilled about the prospect of putting their data in the cloud, while the other half railed at us about how Clio was a stupid and insecure idea that would never take off. Five years later we’ve helped transform the legal technology landscape to a point where every company at TECHSHOW is trying to spin themselves as a cloud-based provider.
 
It was also humbling to see how widely respected and admired Clio is among attendees and vendors alike. We received numerous compliments about our staff, the Clio brand, and our “Canadian hospitality.”
 
Our announcement of the Xero and NetDocuments integrations generated a lot of buzz. Our Clio Certified Consultants are especially excited about the NetDocuments integration, and believe this will help make Clio a good fit for larger firms. The Xero integrations solves our customers’ back-office accounting problem: we now have a full back- and front-office solution that we can sell to both large and small firms. Clio and its partner ecosystem is maturing rapidly, and is increasingly ready for 50-100+ attorney firms.
 
News of the upcoming Clio iPhone app is also starting to generate some excitement in blogs such as The Lawyerist: Clio Updates with NetDocuments and Xero Integration, Promises an iPhone App “Worth the Wait.” 
 
Finally, we won the most crucial battle at TECHSHOW: we had the best swag. The Clio “quill” stylus was a huge hit, as was our new-and-improved ClioPad mini.
 
A huge shout-out to the Clio teamGeorge, Caitlin, Kyle, Joshua, Dan, Lauren, Nagib and Gwynnethat did such an amazing job representing Clio at TECHSHOW.
 
And, last but not least: a special thanks to Lauren and Caitlin for taking care of the logistics of pulling off our most successful TECHSHOW and Clio Meetup to date.

#ABATECHSHOW and the #ClioMeetup

abatechshow

ABATECHSHOW is this week.  It is arguably the biggest legal technology conference of the year, and one of our favorites. Held at the Chicago Hilton at 720 South Michigan Avenue, it spans two days and covers all manner of legal technology topics. Paperless and productivity, social media, collaboration, android. iOS, tablets, if you can name it and there’s a good bet there is a session, if not a whole track, about it. 

The keynote speaker is garnering a lot of attention, this year. The speaker is David Pogue, the well known, award-winning personal technology columnist at The New York Times. His topic? “Disruptive Tech: What’s New, What’s Coming, and How it Will Change Everything.”

Needless to say, it should be interesting.

While last year saw the launch of the ABATECHSHOW app, we’re pleased to see it has returned. We’re curious to know how it compares to last year, if you’re using it more this year and how it compares to other conference apps.

We’re exhibiting this year, so please stop by booths 402 and 403 to say hello!

As in previous years, too, we’re hosting a #ClioMeetup! New venue this year, so join us for an evening of drinks, good food and good conversation with members of the Clio team.
