Disability Law Tech Summit: CAPACITY '26
Most firms already have more capacity than they are using. One afternoon on where it is hiding.
CAPACITY '26 is a half-day virtual summit for disability practitioners, co-presented by NOSSCR and Chronicle.
Open to everyone in disability law. You do not need to be a NOSSCR member to register or attend. Attorneys, non-attorney representatives, paralegals, case managers, intake and operations staff, and firm owners are all welcome.
Every session pairs a technology partner with a practicing attorney on a real workflow problem. No standalone demos, no sales presentations. Each session has to teach you something you can use whether or not you ever buy anything.
Single track, so nothing clashes. There is no ticket and no fee — the summit is funded by its partners, which is what keeps it free for NOSSCR members and everyone else. Every session is recorded and goes to everyone who registers, so it is worth signing up even if November 12 is a hearing day.
Agenda
All times Eastern. Sessions run about 30 minutes of content and 15 minutes of live Q&A, with a short break between slots and a longer one at the midpoint.
This is a working agenda, not a final one. Session titles, running order and times are all still moving, and the keynote speaker is not announced yet. Register and you will hear about every change before this page catches up.
