The chapter's Board of Directors consists of well-known eDiscovery specialists and legal professionals from both corporations and law firms, as well as experts from the field of technology and services. The board members will be introduced during the reception in Amsterdam.
Community, Connection, Careers
““We're extremely excited about launching our ACEDS Benelux chapter," says Mary Mack, Executive Director of ACEDS. “It is the first professional eDiscovery community on the mainland that will collaborate with our flagship UK chapter and our emerging chapters in Canada and Australia.”
ACEDS is the member organization for professionals in the private and public sectors who work in the field of e-discovery.
