February 11, 2009 – In response to the current economic challenges and the accompanying reduction in electronic discovery personnel at service and software providers, law firms and corporations, for select individuals we are temporarily waiving the individual EDRM participation fee.

This waiver applies to individuals who have lost, or are about to lose, positions in the electronic discovery field.

Individual participants who elect to attend the Spring and Fall EDRM face-to-face working meetings will still be required to pay a fee to cover a portion of meeting expenses.

We know this will not solve everyone’s problems; we hope at least it can ease the pain a little.

Please contact us with any questions.

Thank you,

George and Tom
