Spark-athon is sold out!  I knew it would be exciting to put on an InternetWeekNY event.  We're bringing together Matt Hall (Founder, [Docracy](http://www.docracy.com)), Tom Chernaik (CEO, [CMP.LY](http://cmp.ly)), and Steven Cherry (Journalist, [@TechWisePodcast](https://twitter.com/TechwisePodcast)) to inspire 25 lawyers and 25 hackers brainstorming new legaltech projects and ventures. We added in a happy hour - the space and the beer donated by [WeWork Labs](https://www.wework.com/ny/wework-labs) in Soho - and prizes - Grand Prize donated by [Dreamhost](http://www.dreamhost.com).   But, I had no idea how exciting it would be.  We've got a waiting list! We've received tremendous support from the [New York  Legal Hackers](http://www.meetup.com/legalhackers/) and the [nyhacker](http://www.meetup.com/nyhacker/) meetups. [Jonathan Askin](https://www.brooklaw.edu/en/faculty/directory/facultymember/biography.aspx?id=jonathan.askin), a noted tech law professor, is going to participate.  Extra thanks to him for pitching in getting the word out and adding volunteers. And, Josh Kubicki, author of the TechCocktail blog I've been quoting, has come in from Cincinnati to participate!           Article has 0 Comments.

Spark-athon (InternetWeekNY)](https://www.kkrasnowwaterman.com/Professional/tabid/3075/bid/97918/Disrupt-Law-Spark-athon-InternetWeekNY.aspx) Posted by [K Krasnow Waterman](https://www.kkrasnowwaterman.com/professional/author/k-krasnow-waterman) on Mon, May 06, 2013 @ 18:05 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) Tags: [technology implementing law](https://www.kkrasnowwaterman.com/professional/topic/technology-implementing-law), [technology for lawyers](https://www.kkrasnowwaterman.com/professional/topic/technology-for-lawyers), [Internet Week](https://www.kkrasnowwaterman.com/professional/topic/internet-week), [legaltech](https://www.kkrasnowwaterman.com/professional/topic/legaltech), [entrepreneur](https://www.kkrasnowwaterman.com/professional/topic/entrepreneur), [startup](https://www.kkrasnowwaterman.com/professional/topic/startup), [IWNY](https://www.kkrasnowwaterman.com/professional/topic/iwny) I'm a fan of InternetWeekNY - now 45,000+ New Yorkers mingling to teach, pitch, and network all manner of things web.  So, this year, I'm the proud sponsor of an event.  On Thursday, May 23, from 4pm to 6pm, I'll be hosting **DISRUPT LAW!! SPARK-ATHON **in Soho.   The event will include speed-networking and collaborative brainstorming among 25 innovation-oriented lawyers and 25 venture-seeking hackers/developers.  The goal is to spark new legaltech ventures in disruptive legal technology.  For those not in the startup scene, that's "disruptive" as in "ground-breaking innovativion" NOT as in "breaking someone else's technology.'"  Motivating descriptions of successful ventures will be provided by Matt Hall, co-founder of [Docracy](http://www.docracy.com/); Tom Chernaik, CEO of [CMP.LY](http://cmp.ly/); and one more surprise.  Docracy was the winner of the TechCrunch Disrupt NY Hackathon in 2011; it offers an open collection of legal contracts and a mechanism to negotiate and sign documents online.  CMP.LY provides a full and creative suite of tools for compliance and risk management for social media.  And, of course, there'll be a little something to eat and drink. I haven't been this excited since I created the [LinkedData Lab](http://dig.csail.mit.edu/2010/LinkedData/Overview.html), which launched new careers and companies.  Can't wait to see what Disrupt Law!! brings!   [![Click here to reserve your ticket](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/137/f1c578a7-5f60-418c-afa7-fd90ef8f8ed4.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/137/f1c578a7-5f60-418c-afa7-fd90ef8f8ed4) Follow this event on twitter - #DisruptLawIWNY Article has 0 Comments.
