2026 ILTACON

ActiveNav is sponsoring ILTACON in Nashville, TN from August 23-27, 2026. This year we're showing how leading firms use ActiveNav Cloud to discover and classify matter data across their entire data estate.

 See how to get your unstructured data AI-ready, locate and classify matter, and eliminate dark data, all while maintaining compliance and reducing storage costs. ActiveNav Cloud is purpose-built for legal teams to identify, classify, and manage unstructured matter data.

Is It Time for IG Ops?

Law firms are facing a convergence of pressures that all point to the same root problem: unmanaged unstructured data. Storage costs continue to climb, privacy obligations are expanding, client-driven audit and security expectations are intensifying, and breach readiness is no longer optional. Now, AI initiatives add a new level of urgency because “garbage in, garbage out” becomes a governance and risk issue when firms can’t confidently locate, classify, and control matter content at scale.

This session introduces and pressure-tests an emerging operating model: IG Ops—a shift in information governance from episodic, reactive cleanup projects to a proactive, resourced, and accountable function that operationalizes unstructured data governance across the firm. Think of it as the difference between “IG as policy” and “IG as an engine”: ongoing monitoring, clear ownership, repeatable workflows, and measurable outcomes.

In a candid panel discussion bringing together complementary perspectives (law firm leadership, technology/process expertise, and implementation experience), we will explore:

• What “IG Ops” means in practical terms, and how it differs from traditional Information Governance 
• The organizational and executive alignment required to make it stick (authority, budget, roles, and cross-functional partnership with IT, security, KM, and practice leadership)
• The operational playbook: where to start, which processes matter most, and how to move from project-based cleanup to continuous governance. Learn how leading teams are applying this within their firms.
• How the tech stack should support IG Ops

Date: Thursday,  August 27 
Time: 2:00-3:00 pm
Location: Davidson North
Panelists:

• Rich Hale, CTO - ActiveNav
  

• Glenn Fischer, Global Director of Information Governance - Mayer Brown LLP
• Leigh Zidwick, Senior Director of Information Governance - DLA Piper
• Karen Allen, Information Governance Manager - Wiley Rein LLP
