The Strategic Knowledge & Innovation Legal Leaders’ Summit (SKILLS), formerly the Legal Knowledge Management Summit (Legal KM Summit), organized by the NYC Large Law Firm Knowledge Management Group, is a closed door international meeting of large law firm knowledge management and innovation leaders with a public part – the SKILLS Showcase.

The aim of SKILLS is to discuss current developments in Knowledge Management, innovation, and the business of law. The SKILLS Showcase is a mixture of rapid-fire presentations and strategic discussions that highlight the latest developments in the legal sector.

Until 2020, SKILLS has traditionally fallen within the Legaltech conference, part of the Legalweek New York at the beginning of each year. To prepare for the summit, invitees are surveyed toward the end of each year to learn about their current priorities and plans. (since ?)
