ILTACON 2027 booths in Nashville for the people who run law-firm technology
ILTACON visitors are the IT, knowledge and innovation staff who choose legal software for their firms, and they test claims in detail. At Gaylord Opryland the booth is bare space on ballroom carpet, and every drink and snack must come from the resort.

What makes ILTACON different, and how we build for it
ILTACON is the International Legal Technology Association's annual conference, which ILTA calls the only peer-created and peer-led conference for legal technology professionals.Sessions are built by co-chairs and members, and business partners reach attendees through sponsor levels from Silver to ILTAMAX, an exhibit hall of 241 booths in 2026, and demo rooms open from 8 a.m. ILTA's suitcasing policy keeps commercial activity with sponsors only. The 2026 edition drew 5,780 attendees and brought 379,000 pounds of freight, three times the year before. A booth works here when it answers the practical questions of firm IT staff: security, integration with document management and rollout effort.
Security posture, data residency, integration with document management and identity systems, and an engineer at the booth who can go deep.
AI drafting, search and workflow tools shown on real matter-style documents, with a frank view of accuracy and review steps.
Time saved per matter, billing and e-discovery cost effects, and a customer firm of similar size to call.

How Purple runs ILTACON 2027 at Gaylord Opryland
Whichever shop suits your next show, Fishkill, NY or Las Vegas, makes the booth and the demo-room graphics, and crates ship to GES under the EAC policy in ILTA's Business Partner portal. Your Purple project manager installs during the Sunday and Monday windows with the labor the resort and GES require, orders coffee from Gaylord Opryland, and stays through dismantle.
Inside ILTACON 2027
ILTACON rules that shape your booth
Under the IAEE display guidelines ILTA applies, inline space allows 8-foot elements in the rear half and 4 feet toward the aisle, and islands of 20×20 or more cap at 20 feet. We draw every ILTACON booth to those limits before quoting.
All food and beverage at ILTACON must come from Gaylord Opryland, with none brought into exhibit space, demo rooms or suites (2026 rules). We order coffee or reception service from the resort with your booth plan.
Traffic builders, lead generators, bingo prizes and giveaways must each be worth less than $500 USD. We build the booth draw around a prize within that cap.
Commercial activity by non-sponsors in hotel rooms, suites, restaurants or public spaces during ILTACON is suitcasing, and ILTA may suspend violators. Sponsors keep that right, so we brand your suite or demo room within ILTA's rules.
ILTACON is the peer-run conference for law-firm technology staff; choose it over Legalweek when your buyers are the IT, knowledge management and security people who evaluate legal software in depth, rather than the broader legal market on Legalweek's floor.

02 Booths & pricing for ILTACON 2027
What does an ILTACON 2027 booth cost by sponsor level?
ILTACON exhibit space comes with ILTA's sponsor levels, from Silver up to ILTAMAX, and ILTA follows IAEE display rules: inline booths cap at 8 feet in the back half, islands of 20×20 or more at 20 feet. For a first ILTACON we recommend a 10×20 inline with two demo screens; e-discovery and AI platforms competing for firm-wide deals do better on a 20×20 island plus a demo room.
Two demo screens at the back, kept under ILTA's 4-foot limit in the front half, and a center header no wider than 20% of the booth length.

The booth we would build for ILTACON 2027
The firm-IT inline with a demo room behind it
ILTACON visitors are the IT, knowledge and security staff who evaluate legal software in depth, and ILTA pairs the exhibit hall with demo rooms open from 8 a.m., so the booth starts the conversation and the room finishes it. IAEE rules hold inline elements to 4 feet toward the aisle, so the message lives on the 8-foot back half.
Back-half message wall
An 8-foot graphic in the rear half of the inline naming the integration and security answer firm IT asks for first.
Front-half demo counter
A counter under the 4-foot front line with one screen showing the product inside a document management workflow.
Room invitation desk
A small desk that books visitors into your demo room for an early slot the next morning.
Resort coffee point
Coffee ordered from Gaylord Opryland, the only allowed food and drink source, to keep people at the counter.
The demo
Show the rollout, not the feature: the product connected to a firm's document management system, single sign-on and security review, with the pilot timeline a CIO would take to the partners.
The meetings
Demo rooms opened Monday to Wednesday 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Thursday to noon in 2026, as empty rooms furnished through GES, Encore or PRA. ILTA's suitcasing policy reserves meetings in hotel rooms, suites and restaurants for sponsors, so a sponsor's room is the proper place for an hour-long evaluation.
Rolls out in weeks. Passes your security review.
Your people arrive at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center to a lit, stocked booth. You just show up.

Engineering, not law, but the same message: Shapoorji Pallonji's booth was built to say trust and scale, which is what firm IT staff look for before they shortlist legal software.

04 Designing for legal technology, e-discovery and law-firm software brands at ILTACON
Designing an ILTACON booth within IAEE height rules
1Respect the IAEE sightlines
ILTA applies IAEE display rules: inline booths keep anything over 4 feet in the back half, and a 10×20 header may span only 20% of the booth length. We design the screens and branding to sit high at the back so the front stays open and the sightline rules hold.
2Split the booth and the demo room
ILTACON demo rooms are empty space, open from 8 a.m. Monday to Wednesday, an hour or two before the hall. We furnish the room through GES, Encore or PRA and match its graphics to the booth, so a visitor sent from the aisle recognizes it.
3Answer security on sight
Firm IT staff ask about security before features. We give the booth a dedicated security and integration screen showing certifications, data flow and document management connectors, staffed by someone who can answer without a follow-up call.
4Plan giveaways under $500
ILTA caps traffic builders, lead generators, bingo prizes and giveaways at a value under $500, and all food and drink must come from Gaylord Opryland. We design a booth draw that fits the cap and order any coffee or reception service through the resort.

Where you could be at ILTACON 2027
ILTA has not published the 2027 floor plan. In 2026 ILTACON business partners worked from two kinds of space at Gaylord Opryland.
Exhibit hall
Bare space with pipe and drape on ballroom carpet, 241 booths in 2026, open Monday evening to Thursday noon.
Our advice The hall closes at 4 p.m. Monday for the reception set, so we finish the build Sunday and use Monday for testing.
Demo rooms
Empty rooms open Monday to Wednesday 8 a.m.–6 p.m. and Thursday 8 a.m.–noon; access times vary by location.
Our advice We furnish the room through GES, Encore or PRA and brand it to match the booth so visitors know they are in the right place.

ILTACON 2027 set-up, GES and Gaylord Opryland rules
ILTACON is a resort show: sessions, hotel rooms, demo rooms and the exhibit hall share Gaylord Opryland. In 2026 the booth was bare space with pipe and drape on ballroom carpet, GES was the official general services contractor, and furniture, internet, power and cleaning were ordered from the GES service kit in ILTA's Business Partner portal. Exhibitor-appointed builders work under the EAC policy in that kit. Setup ran Sunday 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Monday 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., after which the hall closed for the reception set. We file the EAC paperwork, ship from our Fishkill, NY shop to GES, order resort catering and keep your Purple project manager on site through dismantle.

ILTACON 2027 tips from ILTA's business partner FAQ
Setup ran Sunday 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Monday 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. in 2026, then the hall closed for the reception set until 6:30 p.m., so finish building Sunday and use Monday for testing. source
Rooms in ILTA's Passkey block are allotted by sponsor level, from 4 at Silver to 16 at ILTAMAX, extra rooms come with extra badge purchases, and ILTA runs rooming audits (2026). source
In 2026 the room block closed July 17, non-refundable deposits were taken the week of July 20 and every cancellation cost $50; with the 2027 show two weeks earlier, plan on earlier cutoffs. source
ILTA says it works with no third parties for rooms, booths, services or the attendee list, so treat any unsolicited offer as a scam and take questions to ILTA's sponsor team. source
Mobile app invitations went out about two weeks before the 2026 event, the moment to send attendees your booth number and demo-room times. source
Who you meet on the floor
They evaluate software for security, integration and rollout effort before it ever reaches the partners.
They come for sessions built by ILTA co-chairs and members, and look for tools that make firm knowledge findable.
They review vendors against firm and client security requirements before anything is approved.
They pilot AI drafting and practice tools and want a demo room to test them in depth.

ILTACON exhibitor questions
ILTACON 2027 questions business partners ask
When is ILTACON 2027?
ILTACON 2027 runs August 8–12, 2027 at Gaylord Opryland in Nashville, per ILTA. It comes about two weeks earlier than ILTACON 2026, which ran August 23–27 at the same resort.
Where is ILTACON 2027 held?
At Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center on Nashville's Opryland Drive, per ILTA. ILTA has also set 2028 at the Orlando World Center (August 6–10), 2029 at Gaylord National (August 12–16), then Orlando in 2030 and Gaylord National in 2031.
How do we exhibit at ILTACON?
Exhibit space comes with ILTA's sponsor levels, listed in the sponsorship prospectus; questions go to ILTA's Business Partner team. Badge allotments in 2026 ran Silver 4, Gold 6, Platinum 8, Titanium 12 and ILTAMAX 16.
What is included in an ILTACON exhibit booth?
In 2026 ILTA described the booth as bare space with pipe and drape and ballroom carpet. Furnishings, internet, power and cleaning were ordered through the GES service kit, so we plan furniture and screens as part of your build.
What are the booth height rules at ILTACON?
ILTA follows IAEE guidelines: 10×10 inline booths may reach 8 feet only in the back half, with 4 feet in front; a 10×20's center header may be 8 feet high, 20% of the booth length wide and 9 feet deep; islands of 20×20 or more may reach 20 feet.
What are the ILTACON exhibit hall hours?
ILTA has not set 2027 hall times, so they are not confirmed yet. Last August the floor ran Monday 7–9 p.m., Tuesday and Wednesday 10 a.m.–6 p.m. and Thursday 9 a.m.–noon, with setup Sunday 7 a.m.–6 p.m. and Monday 7 a.m.–4 p.m.
How many people attend ILTACON?
ILTA's 2026 wrap-up counts 5,780 total attendees and 241 booths, with 379,000 pounds of freight, three times the year before. ILTA does not cap registration, and members and non-members may attend.
Can we serve food or drinks in our ILTACON booth?
Only through the resort. ILTA's 2026 rules say all food and beverage must be provided by Gaylord Opryland, with no outside food or drink in exhibit spaces, demo rooms or hospitality suites. We place the resort order with your booth plan.
What are ILTACON's giveaway limits?
ILTA caps traffic builders, lead generators, bingo prizes and giveaways at a value under $500 USD. Anything above needs a different approach, such as a drawing structured within the cap.
What is ILTA's suitcasing policy?
ILTA defines suitcasing as commercial activity by non-sponsors from hotel rooms, suites, restaurants or other public spaces during conference dates, and may penalize violators up to suspension. Only sponsors may host meetings and events tied to ILTACON.
Who exhibits at ILTACON?
Legal technology vendors in e-discovery, document management, AI drafting, security and practice management. ILTA's 2026 Platinum sponsors included Epiq, Everlaw, KLDiscovery, Reveal, BigHand and Actionstep, with Relativity among Gold sponsors.
How much does a booth at ILTACON cost?
ILTA prices space through sponsor levels in its prospectus. For the build, a 10×20 inline with custom graphics runs $7,500 to $15,000 to rent, and a custom 20×20 island $50,000 to $120,000; GES services and resort catering are added on our proposal.
Is ILTACON worth it for a legal tech startup?
It suits startups selling to law-firm IT. ILTA sells space through sponsor levels starting at Silver, which carried 4 badges in 2026, and only sponsors may hold meetings around the conference, so even a small company needs a level to sell there.
What is the difference between ILTACON and Legalweek?
ILTACON is ILTA's peer-led conference for legal technology staff, at Gaylord Opryland each August in 2027; Legalweek is ALM's broader legal market week at the Javits in New York in March. ILTACON's crowd evaluates software in depth, Legalweek's spans partners, general counsel and legal operations.
Before you sign with anyone
Five questions to ask any exhibit builder for ILTACON:
- Will you file the EAC paperwork from the GES service kit through ILTA's Business Partner portal?
- Can our inline meet the IAEE 8-foot back-half and 4-foot front-half limits and still carry the message?
- Can you finish the build in Sunday's 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. window, ahead of the Monday 4 p.m. hall closing?
- Will you furnish and brand our demo room through GES, Encore or PRA to match the booth?
- How will you get our freight to GES on time when ILTA moved 379,000 pounds into the resort in 2026?
What ILTACON exhibitors ask us
Do we need a demo room as well as a booth? For in-depth evaluations, it helps. Demo rooms open at 8 a.m. Monday to Wednesday, before the hall, and ILTA's suitcasing rules keep off-floor meetings to sponsors, so the room is where firm IT spends an hour with you.
Our booth is a 10×20 inline. How tall can it be? Eight feet, in the back half only. Under the IAEE rules ILTA applies, the front half stays at 4 feet and a center header may rise to 8 feet if it is no wider than 20% of the booth length; islands of 20×20 or more reach 20 feet.
ILTACON moves to Orlando in 2028. Should we build for one year? Build to travel. ILTACON returns to Gaylord Opryland in 2027, then goes to Orlando World Center in 2028 and Gaylord National in 2029, so a light frame kit reused across three resort shows earns its cost back.
