Legal is changing. NeoSummit is where industry leaders are deciding what comes next. 

On May 6-7, 2026, legal tech company Neostella will host NeoSummit at Fort Lauderdale’s Marriott Harbor Beach Resort, right on South Florida’s waterfront. It’s a conference built specifically for the people running law firms and legal operations: attorneys, firm leaders, and the operational minds keeping practices moving, gathering to work through the challenges reshaping their industry.

The agenda reflects realities legal teams face daily, including:

  • 5 Operational Breakdowns That Cost Firms Clients
  • AI Tools in Production: What Works and What Doesn’t
  • How Broken Workflows Erode Trust 
  • The Business of Law is Changing: Are We Leading or Reacting?
  • Who’s Responsible When AI Makes Decisions?

The topics being discussed aren’t hypothetical debates. As AI and technology advances and moves from pilot to production inside legal teams, the question of accountability—who owns the output, who owns the error—is one the industry hasn’t answered cleanly.

Headlining day one is Amanda Knox. Knox was wrongfully convicted, imprisoned in Italy for four years, and later exonerated—and she’s spent every year since examining how narratives take shape, how truth gets distorted, and how broken systems resist nuance. It’s a perspective that translates well beyond any single industry, and it’s exactly the kind of voice NeoSummit is built around. Her keynote and Q&A close out the first evening.

“Amanda brings a very unique perspective,” said Matt Lautz, CEO of Neostella. “She challenges problems head-on and looks for solutions that make a genuine impact. That kind of honesty and passion is what NeoSummit is built for.”

Other speakers in the lineup include Lawrence LeBrocq, CEO and Managing Partner at Garces, Grabler & LeBrocq PC; Charles Hatley, CEO of Melone Hatley PC; John Berry, CEO of Berry Law; and Jessica Lockhart, CTO at Duffy & Duffy PLLC, and additional voices from the legal and legal tech industries.

Beyond the main stage, the agenda includes small-group VIP roundtables and panels designed for working through problems, not just presenting them. Last year’s attendees found the peer exchange as valuable as anything on the agenda. “Being able to share ideas with great minds in the legal field and hear their perspectives, pain points, and successes through technology was a big eye opener,” said Dawn Mooney, Legal Systems Administrator & Manager at Maune Raichle Hartley French & Mudd, LLC.

Evenings shift to beachside gatherings where the real conversations tend to happen. Optional morning yoga and sound bowls set the tone before each day begins.

Event partners include Provana, Foundational AI, LexRight, Hona, USClaims, LawPro.ai, and Lawmatics.Seats are limited—and if you work in law, this one’s happening in your backyard.
