What it is
Relativity's annual user and legal-technology conference, now branded RelFest. The main 2026 event is RelFest Chicago, 29 September to 1 October 2026 at the Hyatt Regency Chicago, with over 100 general and breakout sessions and workshops; regional editions in London (15-16 June 2026) and Sydney (21 April 2026) are listed as free. The organisers report over 3,000 attendees from 33 countries.
Who it is for, and when
If your work touches e-discovery this is where the platform's users — law firm litigation support, service providers and in-house teams — set their practice, and the sessions cover review workflow, analytics and the practical handling of large productions. It is also the most efficient place to get product roadmap detail and to raise workflow problems with the vendor directly.
What it does not cover
It is a vendor user conference centred on the Relativity platform, so it teaches that ecosystem rather than e-discovery or forensics in general, and there is no forensic acquisition, artefact or expert-testimony content. The Chicago edition is paid and the site does not publish its rates on this page; the London and Sydney editions are the free ones.
