From
April 19th through the 21st, the National Court Reporters
Association will be holding its
third annual TechCon conference at the DoubleTree Resort by
Hilton-Paradise Valley in Scottsdale, Arizona.
The
emphasis of the TechCon conference is technology as it relates to the legal
services industry, specifically professionals in deposition and courtroom
settings. It will focus on the lastest advancements and
applications. Registrants from around the country will include court
reporters, Certified Legal Video Specialists, trial presentation professionals,
lawyers, and legal technology professionals. All will share information
and network in these three days of concurrent seminars and workshops.
Technology
is constantly evolving, and it is imperative for legal professionals to stay
abreast of the latest improvements so they can become more efficient, more
effective, and better serve their clients. Court reporters in particular
need to continue to sharpen their skills and use the most up-to-date technology
to provide the highest quality transcripts, often in realtime. Hard copy
transcripts are increasingly being replaced with digital and electronic files,
and counsel are now using iPads and tablets to manage their cases. So
much has changed in recent years. Rest assured this will continue to be
the case in the years ahead.
