[EDRM Workshop] Building eDiscovery Expertise: Where Education Begins—and Never Ends

In a discipline as dynamic as eDiscovery, expertise isn’t just earned once—it’s continuously built. But what does it really mean to be “educated” in eDiscovery, and how do professionals at different stages of their careers acquire and maintain the knowledge they need to stay effective? This EDRM workshop, sponsored by HaystackID®, will explore the core elements of eDiscovery education, from formal learning and workplace experience to the role of CLEs, webcasts, panels, and independent study. Leading industry experts will share the go-to sources they rely on to stay sharp—case law, research, vendor updates, and more—and discuss which upskilling methods are most in demand today. Whether you’re new to the field or guiding a team through professional development, you’ll gain actionable strategies to support continuous learning and long-term growth. + Original Date: Wednesday, August 20, 2025 Expert Panelists + Ryan Costello Senior Managing Director, Advisory Services, HaystackID + David Horrigan Discovery Counsel & Legal Education Director, Relativity + Tom O’Connor Director, Gulf Coast Legal Technology Center + Mary Bennett [Moderator] Senior Director, Content Marketing, HaystackID; Senior Director, Content and Community Initiatives, EDRM About EDRM Empowering the global leaders of e-discovery, the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) creates practical global resources to improve e-discovery, privacy, security, and information governance.
