Relativity Fest is an annual user conference designed to educate Relativity users and connect the Relativity community. This two-and-a-half-day event features engaging panel discussions, hands-on labs, breakout sessions, and insights from both kCura staff and Relativity end users—all designed to provide a great Relativity educational experience.

kCura strives to ensure that Relativity Fest attendees enjoy their time in Chicago. Social events throughout the conference are planned to provide time to relax, share Relativity experiences, and spend time with the kCura team.

All Relativity users are invited to attend Relativity Fest. To ensure that the conference is valuable for all user types, we work to tailor the agenda to a variety of job roles, including reviewers, case managers, case strategists, external developers, and business development professionals.

Relativity Fest provides unique educational opportunities that only happen once a year and that ultimately increase the value of your organization’s investment in Relativity. You’ll roll up your sleeves and dig into the software while connecting with other Relativity users and the kCura team. Whether you review documents, lead the case team, are part of your firm’s litigation support group, manage a Relativity infrastructure, or frequently discuss the benefits of Relativity with others, the education you’ll receive at Fest will help you take full advantage of the software.
