Kira's Noah Waisberg usually has some wild prop-based action in his speeches and today is no different, as he swings the axe and we get ready to close the book on another dizzying, exhausting and inspiring Legal Geek conference. Thomson Reuters has already popped the beers, the afterparty is cranking up across the road and Jimmy Vestbirk is thanking everyone from on stage. As ever it's been an amazing event - see you all next year, or at Legal Design Geek tomorrow!

More awesome #lawbreakers on stage! @Nicola_Shaver on the need to change innovation teams to drive change in firms.Train your lawyers in new skills, involve cross industry experts and introduce true diversity.

The MoJ's Susan Acland-Hood certainly made an impression on Karl Chapman earlier. Karl is one of several must-follow accounts if you want the best quotes and moments from everywhere at Legal Geek.
‘...we have a legal system designed for those who work in it rather than those who use it...’ says Susan Auckland-Hood Ministry of Justice ‘... & we’re determined to change this starting from the user up ...’ I love you Susan, spot on #LegalGeek @KimTechnologies @EYRiverviewLaw

If you're wondering why there aren't many updates from the main stage, it's because it's so packed it took us 15 mins to get in! Simon Davis, President of the Law Society, is smashing it just like Christina Blacklaws did last year ...
“if you don’t want to be replaced by a robot, don’t act like a robot.... you need to get into the soul of the client. A robot can’t do that.” Wise words at #LegalGeek from Simon Davis of @TheLawSociety

Less than two hours until lift off! 🚀 The team prepares to kick-start Legal Geek, the most exciting event in legal tech. This year looks to be bigger than ever - with over 2000 attendees from 40 countries. To find out what it's all about, we interviewed the founder of Legal Geek, Jimmy Vestbirk, ahead of schedule. Jimmy said:
"The conference will be polished and more focused on our three main audience groups: big law firms, in-house lawyers and tech companies. We have three stages and the sessions are mirrored to match those audiences. The demo stage will be categorized and should help attendees to explore the different types of solutions more effectively.
Also although we’ve kept the total attendee number the same, the physical footprint at Legal Geek has increased by 30%, with a dedicated food hall, a broader startup alley, and generally more space to network. There’ll be plenty of great content, but if what you’d really like to do is chat to as many people as possible, then we want to encourage that."
