Providing Legal Teams With Strategic Guidance and Epiq AI™ Solutions 

NEW YORK, Aug. 21, 2026 — Epiq announced today its participation at ILTACON 2026, taking place from August 23 to 27 at the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center in Nashville, Tennessee. Epiq is showcasing a combination of strategic guidance and Epiq AI solutions that enable legal teams to accelerate outcomes, reduce risk, and strengthen decision-making.  

Through conference programming and at booth 430, Epiq engages with legal leaders on solutions to tackle increasing legal work volume. 

The company’s presence at ILTACON focuses on expanded capabilities in Epiq AI Accelerate and Epiq AI for Privilege. It also builds on a recent partnership announcement with Legora, enabling legal departments and law firms to deploy enterprise AI that delivers greater impact across legal workflows.  

“Realizing value from AI requires the right technology and expertise,” said Nicole Giantonio, Chief Marketing Officer at Epiq. “Organizations need a partner that focuses on AI execution to accelerate results.”
