2026 National District Attorneys Association (NDAA) Annual Conference

2026 NATIONAL DISTRICT ATTORNEYS ASSOCIATION (NDAA) ANNUAL CONFERENCE Join HaystackID® at the 2026 NDAA Annual Conference as prosecutors, justice professionals, and legal technology leaders gather to examine how innovation is reshaping prosecution strategy, digital evidence management, and courtroom readiness. Hosted by the National District Attorneys Association, this year’s conference centers on the theme “Prosecution 2.0 – Technology in Action, Justice in Focus. Empowering Every Prosecutor in Every Community,” bringing attendees together for practical education, peer networking, and timely discussions around AI-assisted casework, courtroom innovation, policy developments, and community-focused justice. The 2026 NDAA Annual Conference is designed to help prosecutors and justice professionals strengthen their ability to serve their communities through modern tools, emerging best practices, and collaborative learning. Attendees can expect programming focused on technology in prosecution, digital evidence, policy updates, and operational strategies, along with opportunities to connect with national experts, peers, and solution providers working to modernize justice with fairness, transparency, and accountability at the center. EXPERT PRESENTATION AI in Discovery: Managing Digital Evidence in the Age of Generative Technology _Tuesday, July 14, 2026, 8:30 AM – 9:00 AM ET_ Prosecutors are drowning in digital evidence. A single case can carry terabytes of data from phones, cloud accounts, body-worn cameras, and social platforms, and the discovery obligations attached to it have not gotten any lighter. This panel takes on a practical question that every DA’s office is now facing: how do you put AI to work within the eDiscovery and evidence-management workflow without sacrificing defensibility? HaystackID’s Chief Information Security Officer and President of Forensics, John Wilson, and Vice President and General Counsel, Ashish Prasad, lead two front-line prosecutors, Deputy District Attorney Malak Behrouznami of San Diego County and Assistant District Attorney Cailin Campbell of Suffolk County, through the workflow end to end: using AI to collect and cull the volume, to surface the relevant material and the exculpatory faster, to organize a case, and to manage discovery production, paired with the validation and human review that keep the process repeatable and defensible. The emphasis is operational: a workflow that an office can adopt. AI can help it find the truth, but it cannot be allowed to decide it. The goal is to send prosecutors back to their jurisdictions with a clearer view of what the evidence establishes and what it only appears to establish. + Ashish Prasad (M), HaystackID + John Wilson, HaystackID + Malak Behrouznami, San Diego County (CA) District Attorney’s Office + Cailin Campbell, Suffolk County (MA) Distric Attorney’s Office EVENT DETAILS + Date: July 13-14, 2026 + Venue: Hyatt Regency Boston + Location: Boston, MA Learn more [https://www.ndaa.org/events/ndaas-2026-annual-conference] about the 2026 NDAA Annual Conference.
