#abatechshow — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #abatechshow, aggregated by home.social.

  1. At #ABATECHSHOW there was incessant talk about #AI. Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT, even Gemini and Perplexity...but I heard nary a peep about Grok. I think there's a reason for that...

    And then there were none: Musk's last xAI cofounder, Ross Nordeen, leaves businessinsider.com/xai-cofoun

  2. Though it's still a tiny percentage of law firms, I'm noticing the Google Workspace users are being a bit more represented at #ABATECHSHOW this year.

  3. As #ABATECHSHOW wraps up I have to admit that walking around the Expo Hall I saw a few products where I thought "What does your product do that I couldn't just do with Claude?"

    I think that's going to be a real challenge for any new tech product.

  4. #ABATECHSHOW broke records for attendance this year. And they did a much better job of using the space this year too, nice to see.

  5. Fun fact for #ABATECHSHOW attendees: McCormick Place is North America's largest convention center — a sprawling, four-building lakefront campus totaling 2.6 million square feet of exhibit space in Chicago's South Loop. You will get your steps in at TECHSHOW. 😄 (Though this year there's a shuttle!)

  6. I'll admit #ABATECHSHOW is one of my favorite events of the year and I'm excited to be there again this year.

  7. Heading to #ABATECHSHOW this week and definitely going to get my steps in. Just going from the hotel to the conference floor and back will probably net me at least a mile a day. 😂

  8. The other thing I asked my AI to do ahead of #ABATECHSHOW is something I like to do ahead of any conference - create a one-pager about the venue. I'm always more comfortable navigating around if I have more details about the facility, it's features and history. I usually look it over on the plane.

  9. #ABATECHSHOW is coming up next week and there are 123 vendors who will be in the Expo Hall. In order to make the best use of my time there I asked my AI partners (Claude, Copilot, and ChatGPT) to create a briefing paper for me that listed each of the vendors, and gave me a concise summary of their offerings so I could better plan who I need to talk to.

    I also asked them to prioritize which vendors I should be sure to visit with.

    Pretty interesting results.

  10. Great conversation with Jordan Furlong (who, incidentally, is one of the keynote speakers at #ABATECHSHOW next week).

  11. Coming to #ABATECHSHOW this year? Join us for Taste of TECHSHOW (and I'm biased towards some tasty pizza!)

  12. Excited to announce that I'll be speaking at #ABATECHSHOW again in March of 2026. More details to follow! #Legaltech

  13. In Chicago for #ABAtechshow ... some #legaltech updates on the birdsite, some here ... I think.

  14. CW: Introduction

    Guess I should do one of these.

    #Introduction: I'm an Innovation Strategist at Affinity Conuslting Group. In that role I help legal professionals be successful with Microsoft 365 and AI.

    I was formerly a Senior Content PM at #Microsoft based in Redmond, WA. At Microsoft I mostly worked on #cybersecurity, #AI, and #Microsoft365 content and #UX for end-users.

    Been in #tech my entire professional life, though I started off with an Epson QX-10 running CP/M which gives you an idea of how many decades that is. Spent most of my career in #LegalTech including a decade in-house at law firms in #Honolulu and #LosAngeles.

    Wrote a few books, including "The Lawyer's Guide to Microsoft #Outlook", "The Lawyer's Guide to Microsoft #Word", "Microsoft #Office365 for Lawyers", and "#OneNote in One Hour".

    Have spoken at #ABATECHSHOW more times than I can count, 18 or 20 at this point I guess. Getting me to talk is easy, getting me to shut up is hard.

    Famous for never having been a lawyer.

    I'm a slow #Ironman #triathlete and member of the #Marathon Maniacs. Have run a couple of dozen marathons and completed 2 full Ironman races (Texas and Arizona).

    Spent about 15 years as a member of the American #Football Coaches Association (#AFCA). Coached high school and semi-pro football in California and Arizona. Mostly QBs and WRs but some of everything. #Chargers fan so I'm used to disappointment.

    Enjoyed 10 years working aboard #USSMissouri (BB-63) after she retired to Naval Station #PearlHarbor in #Hawaii. Mostly did data systems and communications on board, and occasionally showed folks around and answered questions about the ship.

    Drive a Ford Mustang Mach-E and have become an #EV believer.

    Husband to a volcanologist, father to two.

    Huge if true.
