2025 Masters Conference New York
Today’s legal landscape is anything but static. From the relentless pace of data growth to evolving regulatory expectations, professionals in legal, compliance, and technology roles are tasked with solving increasingly complex problems. Whether it’s maneuvering the intricacies of eDiscovery, implementing trustworthy AI to optimize operations, or managing large-scale legal projects, conducting forensic investigations, or mitigating cybersecurity risks, the challenges are wide-ranging and high-stakes. Add to that the growing importance of data governance and knowledge management, and the demand for cross-functional expertise has never been greater.
In the face of these dynamic pressures, collaboration is essential. These conversations are especially critical as organizations adopt new technologies and respond to increasingly sophisticated threats and compliance obligations. HaystackID® is sponsoring the 2025 Masters Conference New York, a boutique event designed to bring together thought leaders and practitioners for a day of meaningful discussion and connection. The one-day event will feature keynote addresses, interactive panels, hands-on workshops, and networking opportunities all tailored to address the most pressing issues facing legal professionals today.

False Faces, True Evidence: Unmasking Deepfakes with Digital Forensics
July 22, 2025, 8:30am-9:30am EDT
When digital deception turns personal, clients suffer. Whether it’s a deepfake video used to manipulate a negotiation, a synthetic audio clip damaging a professional reputation, or doctored evidence submitted in litigation, the rise of deepfakes poses a direct threat to justice and due process. This session explores how deepfakes are already harming clients, individuals, and corporations alike, and what legal professionals must do to identify, challenge, and prevent manipulated media from influencing cases.
Led by John Wilson, a digital forensics expert, this presentation unpacks the technical tools and investigative techniques that can expose falsified content, and it offers actionable steps for preserving evidentiary integrity. Attendees will gain insight into the legal implications of AI-generated media and how to protect their clients when truth itself is under attack.

Demystifying GenAI: What Legal Teams Really Need to Know
July 23, 2025, 11:00am-12:00pm EDT
In just two years, Generative AI has gone from a buzzword to a business imperative in eDiscovery and legal tech. Yet many professionals—both legal and technical—are still navigating outdated assumptions rooted in legacy TAR and traditional machine learning. This panel cuts through the hype to offer a clear, accessible breakdown of how GenAI tools really work, what they can (and can’t) do, and how to talk about them with confidence. Whether you’re fielding questions from clients, collaborating with internal teams, or shaping your firm’s AI strategy, you’ll walk away with the language, frameworks, and practical insight to lead the conversation.
