TRU Staffing Partners and Consero Partner to Deliver First-of-Its-Kind eDiscovery Leadership Forum
A new conference for corporate eDiscovery leaders, law firms, vendors, and software providers to shape the future of legal technology NEW YORK, July 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TRU Staffing Partners, a globally recognized, award-winning talent agency and five-time Inc. 5000 Fastest-Growing U.S. company, and Consero Group, the premier platform for senior-level executive experiences, today announced the launch of the invitation-only eDiscovery Leadership Forum — a groundbreaking event designed to address the seismic shifts occurring across the eDiscovery profession. This inaugural event will take place January 21–23, 2026, at the iconic Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables, Florida. TRU Staffing Partners has been a proud sponsor of Consero's Chief Privacy Officer Forums for more than three years, leading to the formulation and now realization of the new eDiscovery Leadership Forum. This first-of-its-kind forum is a strategic partnership between Consero and TRU Staffing Partners, combining Consero's proven event model and white-glove execution with TRU's subject matter expertise, talent, and partnership access, and thought-leadership content curation. The result is an exclusive, high-impact gathering built to foster strategic knowledge sharing on emerging topics, spark new strategic business introductions and prequalified interest-based buying and selling opportunities, and facilitate meaningful dialogue among the innovators shaping the future of eDiscovery. The eDiscovery Leadership Forum, like all Consero events, will cater specifically to corporate decision-makers — in this case, professionals responsible for eDiscovery hiring and purchasing. A handpicked group of law firms, software companies, and service providers, curated by TRU and Consero, will support the event and enrich the experience through substantive thought-leadership contributions. Attendance will be limited to one representative per corporate logo, ensuring a diverse and balanced cohort representing organizations of all sizes and eDiscovery program maturity models. 'Consero is unequivocally the leader in creating thought-leadership events that deliver not only the highest caliber of content and attendee participation, but also the most meaningful opportunities for future business development for law firms, service providers, and software companies,' said Jared Coseglia, Founder & CEO of TRU Staffing Partners. 'These events facilitate an unprecedented level of professional intimacy and knowledge sharing that instantly enhances the ability for corporate legal stakeholders to engage intentionally with future business partners. No event has been more successful for TRU than Consero in establishing brand credibility, visibility, and accessibility with the right decision-makers.' The event's Board of Advisors, chaired by TRU's CEO Coseglia, will include senior eDiscovery leaders from organizations such as Meta, Netflix, DaVita Kidney Care, Toyota, T-Mobile, Home Depot, Cox, and others. These experts bring reputational gravity and deep insight that will guide the program's integrity and relevance. Full board details will be announced in the coming weeks. 'Partnering with TRU has been eye-opening and invigorating,' said Natalie Cohen, Executive Vice President at Consero. 'TRU brings extraordinary access to talent, trend intelligence that extends well beyond the job market, and unparalleled influence across the eDiscovery and data privacy ecosystems. For Consero, this partnership is about uniting the best and brightest in legal leadership to create something truly unique: a gathering of real decision-makers having real conversations that lead to effective change and deeper engagement with partners and peers.'

How To Plan An Adult Spring Break Vacation To Coral Gables
The exterior of Biltmore Hotel Miami Coral Gables Though Miami is one of the most popular spring break spots for its golden beaches and vibrant nightlife, it can feel rowdy this time of year. So if you're an adult—because grown-ups also deserve time off from the daily grind—who wants to visit The Magic City, but don't want to be in the thick of things, consider Coral Gables. Sra. Martinez is one of the best restaurants in Coral Gables. Just seven miles from downtown Miami, Coral Gables is a postcard-perfect city—no wonder it's nicknamed the 'City Beautiful'—that's adored for its stunning Mediterranean architecture, charming tree-lined streets, and upscale lifestyle. Enticing restaurants abound: Newcomer Sra. Martinez by James Beard Award-winning chef Michelle Bernstein and her husband David Martinez sends out out Spanish- and Mediterranean-influenced fare (think: oxtail paella, mushroom shawarma, harissa-rubbed prawns) in a swanky dining room filled with live music. Coral Gables is also home to high-end shopping and wellness. (Be sure to try one of Toska Spa & Facial Bar's celebrity-loved facials.) The grand lobby of Biltmore Hotel Miami Coral Gables As for where to stay in town, the answer is obvious. Opened in 1926, The Biltmore Hotel Miami Coral Gables is a local legend that's famed for its storied history—it was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1986—distinguished guests from Judy Garland to Franklin D. Roosevelt, and elevated but laid-back experience. Nearly a century later, The biltmore still holds court as one of Miami's best hotels. For starters: the design is spectacular. A striking example of Mediterranean Revival architecture, the 315-foot-tall property stretched across 150-plus acres commands your attention long before you've pulled up. Inside, the lobby continues to impress with hand-painted barrel-vaulted ceilings, towering marble columns, and handsome mahogany furnishings. Instead of a bland playlist, you ears will pick up on the cheerful chirps of finches from their nine-foot-tall birdcages. A Junior Suite at Biltmore Hotel Miami Coral Gables Thanks to a $25 million renovation that wrapped in 2018, the 271 guest rooms and suites are spacious retreats, boldly accented with shades of deep amethyst, robin egg blue, and gold, and classically done up with the essentials for a good night's sleep. Even better? All of the accommodations offer breathtaking views, whether you're overlooking the 18-hole championship golf course or taking in the city skyline. The Biltmore Spa at Biltmore Hotel Miami Coral Gables Since The Biltmore is a full-service resort, you might not want to leave after you've checked in. The massive outdoor pool is among the country's largest—and best enjoyed with a private cabana—while golf and tennis fanatics will flip for the Donald Ross-designed championship course, Jim McLean Golf School, and nine hard courts. When it's time to unwind, head to The Biltmore Spa, a 12,000-square-sanctuary for massages—the Deep Vine Theraputic Massage is ideal after a long day out—and facials delivered with expert care. Fontana at Biltmore Hotel Miami Coral Gables Though the Biltmore's signature restaurant Fontana is open all day and has a stunning fountain-adorned courtyard—which provides a pretty backdrop when the weather is nice—dinner stands out with craveable handmade pastas like the Aragosta Fra Diavolo (spicy lobster linguine) and perfectly grilled meats. And on Sundays, Fontana comes alive for its legendary Sunday Brunch, an extravagant all-you-can-eat affair of caviar, sushi, carved meats, and bottomless sparkling wine.
