Digital Conveyancing Summit doubles ticketing for 2024 return

InfoTrack has announced the return of the Digital Conveyancing Summit in 2024, doubling capacity for London ticket holders

This year’s event will consist of a one-day hybrid event, with the expansion bringing breakout sessions and TED-style talks to provide more opportunities for attendees to participate in discussions.

The event, which is free to attend for conveyancing professionals, is being held on Tuesday 19 November 2024 in both central London and Leeds. Professionals are encouraged to register early if they want to secure a seat to the in-person event in London for 2024. Online tickets are unlimited.

Delegates can expect topics including choosing the right technology for digital conveyancing success, the impact of AI on ethics and compliance, why collaboration is essential, and navigating change management.

Confirmed speakers include leading industry bodies, experts and law firms including Bold Legal Group, HiveRisk, LMS, Charles Russell Speechlys, Eversheds Sutherland, Charles Coleman Solicitors, and Pearson Solicitors and Financial Advisers.

More than 650 conveyancing professionals attended in-person and online for the second Digital Conveyancing Summit last year.

Sam Jordan, InfoTrack COO, said: ‘The digitisation of the conveyancing process is both challenging and incredibly exciting. It’s also something that mustn’t just be looked at through a technological lens. The Summit provides the conveyancing context for sharing and debating the issues that will make a substantial difference in the fortunes of the conveyancing businesses and practitioners who are embracing opportunities with digital tools.’

Amy Church, managing partner at Lucas & Wyllys Solicitors, said: ‘If you are a conveyancer, you cannot miss the Digital Conveyancing Summit. It’s the place to get the latest insights, discover new tools, and connect with industry pros to stay ahead in the fast-evolving world of digital conveyancing.’
