Legalweek 2027 booths in New York, where law firms shop for legal tech
Legalweek buyers come to see nearly every legal technology vendor in one hall, so your booth has to state its category and its proof in one glance. At the Javits, anything over 250 square feet or needing a tool is union work, and our shop in Fishkill, NY sits up the Hudson Valley.
- Mar 1–3 · North Javits
- 10,000 expected in 2027
- Hall opens Mon 10 a.m.
What makes Legalweek different, and how we build for it
Legalweek, run by ALM (trading as Centellic), is the legal market's big New York week, and its exhibit hall is a buying floor: one attendee quoted on the site calls it a chance to see virtually all legal technology exhibitors in one place. The 2027 floor plan lists Thomson Reuters, LexisNexis, Relativity, Harvey, Clio and Epiq among about 150 companies. ALM charges non-exhibiting vendors $4,995 to attend, sells a new Expo Access pass for 2027, and builds the agenda around ten educational tracks with Exhibit Hall lunches and receptions each day. A booth wins when it names its category (e-discovery, AI drafting, practice management) in letters a lawyer reads from the aisle.
A clear category, a client-confidentiality answer and a two-minute demonstration that shows hours saved on real-looking matter work.
Pricing models, e-discovery throughput and review workflow, plus a reference customer from a firm or legal department their size.
Integration with document management, security certifications and AI accuracy explained by someone technical.
Your team in New York
How Purple runs Legalweek 2027 at North Javits
We build and print the booth at Fishkill, NY in the Hudson Valley, and crates go early to the advance warehouse in the Legalweek service kit so winter weather cannot cost a Javits dock slot. A Purple project manager leads the Javits carpenters and electricians from first crate to load-out, with every screen running before Monday's 10 a.m. grand opening.
New at Legalweek 2027
- New Expo Access pass
Legalweek adds an exhibit-hall-only pass for 2027 from $245, which can bring more hall-only visitors, such as in-house legal staff, to the floor; it is not valid for vendors. source
- Keynote & Expo pass now includes meals
The former Exhibit Plus pass, renamed Keynote & Expo, now includes provided meals, so more pass holders stay in the hall over the networking lunches. source
Inside Legalweek 2027
Rules that shape your Legalweek booth
ALM charges any technology provider, consultant or service provider without an exhibit or sponsorship package $4,995 to attend, and turns away those who do not pay. We size a booth so your whole sales team is covered by the package.
Keynote & Expo and Expo Access passes are not valid for vendors, technology providers, consultants or non-sponsoring service providers. We confirm how many exhibitor badges your package carries before planning staff shifts.
At the Javits, exhibitor staff may install only a tool-free, ladder-free booth of 250 square feet or less; larger builds are carpenter work, with lit signs and LED walls for electricians. We design to that line and staff the crew.
EventSphere is Legalweek's only official housing provider, and ALM will not protect bookings made elsewhere. We book your project manager's room through EventSphere.
Legalweek is the broad legal market's New York buying week; choose it over ILTACON when you sell to partners, general counsel and legal operations across firms and corporate legal departments, rather than mainly to the firm IT staff ILTACON gathers.

02 Booths & pricing for Legalweek 2027
How much does a Legalweek 2027 booth cost at the Javits?
ALM sells Legalweek exhibit and sponsor packages through its sales team and a 2027 prospectus; rates are not public. A first-time exhibitor is well served by a 10×20 with two screens. Large e-discovery and AI vendors chasing enterprise firm contracts usually need a 20×30 island built around a closed room for partner meetings.
A lit back wall that names your legal category, two demo screens and a counter for booking a follow-up with a partner or legal ops lead.
Shown: a Purple inline booth for Barantech
See 10×20 rental booths →
A demo bay for litigation support, a second for knowledge management and a closed-back seat where a general counsel can talk confidentially.

The booth we would build for Legalweek 2027
The category-first counsel booth
Lawyers walk Legalweek to see nearly every legal tech exhibitor in one hall, so the booth has to name its category (e-discovery, AI drafting, practice management) in letters read from the aisle before anything else. Traffic comes in the daily networking lunches and the Monday and Tuesday receptions, and partner conversations need a closed room.
Category header
A lit header naming the category and the one problem you solve, built to the Javits electricians' rules for lit signs.
Matter demo pods
Two pods running the product on a sample matter, a review set, a draft or a billing file, never client data.
Partner room
A closed room on a 20×30 island for general counsel and firm partner meetings, with a door and a screen.
Lunch-hour counter
A counter where a visitor carrying a plate from the Exhibit Hall Networking Lunch can watch a two-minute demo.
The demo
Take one matter from intake to answer: load a document set, run the review or drafting step, and show the hours saved and the audit trail a litigation support lead or general counsel would need, in under three minutes.
The meetings
ALM's Legalweek pages show no meeting-booking tool, so book partner and general counsel meetings yourselves into the quieter blocks while the ten education tracks run, and keep the receptions, Monday at 4:30 and Tuesday at 4, for walk-ups.
Review fewer documents. Find the answer sooner.
Your people arrive at the North Javits Center to a lit, stocked booth. You just show up.

04 Designing for legal technology, e-discovery and legal services brands at Legalweek
Designing a Legalweek booth for North Javits
1Say the category first
With about 150 legal tech companies in one North Javits hall, lawyers sort booths by category. We put e-discovery, AI drafting or practice management in the largest type on the booth, and the brand second, so the right visitor stops.
2A room for confidential talk
Legal buyers will not discuss a live matter in an open aisle. On anything 10×30 or larger we build a closed-back seat or a small room with a door, a screen and no glass facing the aisle.
3Ride the hall's daily rhythm
Legalweek's agenda pulls the room into the Exhibit Hall at set times: the Monday grand opening after the keynote, networking lunches each day and receptions on Monday and Tuesday afternoons. We staff to those peaks and keep demos short at lunch.
4Stay under 250 or plan labor
At the Javits your staff may set up only a tool-free booth of 250 square feet or less; anything larger is carpenter work, with lit signs and LED walls going to Javits electricians. We design the 10×20 as a no-tool kit and staff larger builds.
Concept rendering
Every Legalweek proposal includes a rendering like this

Where you could be at Legalweek 2027
Legalweek's 2027 exhibit hall is at North Javits Center. Here is how that part of the Javits works for a legal tech booth, from Purple's Javits guide and the organizer's pages.
North Javits exhibit hall
The north end of the Javits at 445 11th Avenue, with the 2027 floor plan published on ExpoFP.
Our advice We pull your exact booth from the ExpoFP plan and check neighbors and aisle widths before drawing.
Truck garage
A four-level truck garage at the Javits keeps more than 200 trucks off Manhattan streets until their dock slot opens.
Our advice Targets still matter; we time freight to the advance warehouse so winter delays do not cost a dock slot.
Javits exclusives
Electrical, internet, plumbing and rigging are sold only by the Javits, and electricians handle lit signs and LED walls.
Our advice We order power and wired internet for each demo screen early and route LED work to the electricians' crew.
05 North Javits Center · New York
Legalweek 2027 Javits labor, drayage and winter freight
North Javits is the newer north end of the Javits Center on 11th Avenue, part of a union building with three trades on the floor: Teamsters move freight, carpenters build and dismantle booths over 250 square feet, and Javits electricians handle power, lit signs, LED walls and rigging; electrical, internet, plumbing and rigging are Javits exclusives. Trucks queue in the four-level garage rather than on the street, and Purple's drayage planning figure is about $195 per hundredweight with a 200-pound minimum. Early March can bring winter weather, so we ship early to the advance warehouse. Our Fishkill, NY shop builds and prints in the Hudson Valley, and your Purple project manager leads the carpenters and electricians from first crate to load-out.
What Purple handles
- Legalweek exhibitor kit forms and EAC filing
- Javits electrical, internet and rigging orders
- No-tool 10×20 kits or full union builds for larger booths
- Closed meeting space designed for confidential conversations
- Build and print in our Fishkill, NY shop, a truck run down the Hudson

Legalweek 2027 tips from ALM's agenda and venue pages
The Exhibit Hall Grand Opening runs 10 to 11:30 a.m. Monday, straight after the 9 a.m. keynote, so have every screen on and the booth staffed before the keynote ends. source
Hall receptions run Monday 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. and Tuesday 4 to 5 p.m., and Wednesday's last hall slot is the noon networking lunch, so plan staffing and strike around those hours. source
Wednesday's AI Intensive, GC Intensive and Case Law Forum hold judges, general counsel and AI buyers in sessions from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., so aim Wednesday demos at the 10 a.m. break and the noon lunch. source
EventSphere is the only official housing provider, and ALM says rooms booked anywhere else may bring a non-refundable deposit or no reservation at all; report other housing callers to ALM. source
Extra staff outside your package pay the Full Conference rate, $2,295 through January 29, 2027 and $2,495 after, because Keynote & Expo and Expo Access passes are not valid for vendors. source
Who you meet on the floor
They use the New York week to see the legal technology market in one hall and decide what their firms adopt next.
Wednesday's GC Intensive frames them as enterprise leaders, and on the floor they shop for contract, matter and AI tools.
They compare pricing, rollout effort and reporting across vendors for the department budget.
The Case Law Forum brings judges' views on e-discovery and AI to them, and they test review platforms on the floor.

Legalweek exhibitor questions
Legalweek New York 2027 exhibitor questions
When is Legalweek 2027?
Legalweek New York 2027 runs March 1–3, 2027. The agenda opens Monday with registration at 8 a.m., the opening keynote at 9 and the Exhibit Hall grand opening at 10, per ALM's 2027 agenda.
Where is Legalweek 2027 held?
At North Javits Center, 445 11th Avenue, New York, NY 10001. Legalweek lists LaGuardia about 7 miles away, Newark 10.4 miles and JFK 14 miles.
How much does it cost to attend Legalweek 2027?
A Full Conference pass is $2,295 through January 29, then $2,495 to February 28 and $2,595 onsite. The Keynote & Expo pass is $395, $495 and $595, and the new Expo Access pass $245, $295 and $395 for the same periods.
Can vendors attend Legalweek without exhibiting?
Only by paying. ALM's non-exhibiting vendor policy charges technology providers, consultants and service providers without a sponsorship or exhibit package $4,995, and those who do not pay are not admitted. Keynote & Expo and Expo Access passes exclude vendors.
How do we get a booth at Legalweek?
ALM sells exhibit and sponsorship packages through its sponsorship team and a downloadable 2027 prospectus; the 2027 exhibit hall plan is on ExpoFP. We start design once you have a booth number and footprint.
How much does a booth at Legalweek cost?
ALM does not publish space rates. The build is separate: a 10×20 rental with graphics runs $7,500 to $15,000 and a custom 20×20 island $50,000 to $120,000; Javits labor and drayage, among the highest in the country, sit on top in our fixed proposal.
How many people attend Legalweek?
Legalweek anticipates 10,000 attendees in 2027, with 400+ speakers and attendees from 51 countries. It also says 64% of attendees are returning loyalists.
Who exhibits at Legalweek 2027?
About 150 companies on the 2027 floor plan, including Thomson Reuters, LexisNexis, Wolters Kluwer, Relativity, Epiq, DISCO, Everlaw, Harvey, Legora, Clio, iManage and Litera.
What are the Legalweek exhibit hall hours?
The 2027 agenda opens the hall Monday March 1 at 10 a.m., with networking lunches each day and receptions Monday 4:30–5:30 p.m. and Tuesday 4–5 p.m. Wednesday has a morning break and a lunch in the hall.
Can we set up our own booth at the Javits?
Your own staff may put up a booth of 250 square feet or less, provided it needs no tools or ladders. Bigger or tool-built booths go to Javits carpenters, and electricians take lit signs, LED walls and rigging; your Purple project manager directs both crews.
What does drayage cost at the Javits Center?
We plan Javits drayage at roughly $195 per hundredweight, with every shipment billed at least 200 pounds and extra charges for late, loose or off-target freight. The 2027 Legalweek service kit sets the real tariff, and the estimate goes on your proposal.
Where should Legalweek exhibitors stay?
Book through EventSphere, which ALM names as Legalweek's only official housing provider, and ignore third parties offering rooms. For the daily commute, the 7 train stops at 34 St–Hudson Yards, one block from the Javits.
When should we commit to a Legalweek 2027 booth?
Sign off the design by mid-December 2026 to leave a 30 to 45 day build, early Javits orders and a margin for winter freight. Extra staff passes are cheapest before January 29, 2027.
What is the difference between Legalweek and ILTACON?
Legalweek is ALM's broad legal market week in New York each March; ILTACON is ILTA's peer-led August conference for law-firm technology staff at Gaylord Opryland. Legalweek reaches partners, general counsel and legal operations, ILTACON the IT, knowledge and security people who evaluate software in depth.
Before you sign for Legalweek
Five things to ask every builder quoting Legalweek:
- Is our Legalweek footprint under 250 square feet, and can our own staff install it at the Javits without tools or ladders?
- Which parts of the booth go to Javits carpenters and which to the electricians, especially the lit header?
- How early will freight leave Fishkill for the advance warehouse, given winter weather in late February?
- Will you order Javits-exclusive power and internet for each demo pod before the early deadline?
- How will you have the booth tested and staffed for the Monday 10 a.m. grand opening right after the keynote?
What Legalweek exhibitors ask us
Our sales team only wants to walk the floor. Do we need a booth? In practice, yes. ALM charges technology providers, consultants and service providers without an exhibit or sponsor package $4,995 each to attend, and Expo passes are not valid for vendors, so a package with badges is the route for a team of sellers.
Javits labor costs run high. Can a smaller booth avoid most of it? Design around the 250-square-foot line. Exhibitor staff may install a tool-free, ladder-free booth of 250 square feet or less, so a 10×20 kit can go up without carpenters, while anything larger or lit goes to Javits carpenters and electricians.
Legalweek is in early March. What about winter weather? Ship early. Winter weather can slow trucks into Manhattan, so we send freight to the advance warehouse ahead of its target, and the Javits truck garage holds trailers off the street until their dock slot opens.

What happens next
- Within one business day we write back to ask about your products, your goals for Legalweek and your footprint.
