It will feature over 20 industry speakers, five panel discussions and 53 exhibition booths showcasing technologies, materials, equipment and solutions.

The event will also explore the use of business automation and artificial intelligence to improve documentation, contract management, operational efficiency, cash-flow protection and dispute prevention.
