Meaningful dialogue requires a strong community, and our sponsors play a vital role in building that foundation. This week, we are proud to highlight four organizations whose support strengthens the Sedona Conference Working Group Series:

• – leading in intellectual property law
• Crowe – providing audit and risk expertise
• HaystackID – advancing legal technology innovation
• – trusted for litigation and settlement services

Their contributions ensure the ongoing success of the Working Group Series and help create an environment where diverse voices can collaborate and share insights.

Tonight’s reception welcomed participants ahead of the Working Group 13 Midyear Meeting, providing a relaxed setting to mark the start of this important gathering. It was an opportunity to set a positive tone for the sessions to come.

We are grateful to everyone who joined us this evening and contributed to such an engaging start. Tomorrow marks the official opening of the WG13 Midyear Meeting, where the focus will turn to the dialogue and collaboration that continue to advance the group’s progress in shaping understanding and standards at the intersection of AI and law.
