𝐀𝐭 𝐗𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔, 𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐨’𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞, we brought our customers, partners, experts, and team together for three days of learning, sharing, connecting, and thinking about what’s next across eDiscovery, legal technology, digital forensics, AI, and beyond.

But an event like this is about more than what’s on the agenda.
It’s the conversations that happen between sessions. The questions that challenge assumptions. The customer experiences that make us think differently. The ideas that start in one room and continue long after everyone leaves it.

So Tasneem Gandhi Bandukwala caught up with our COO - Rick Valentine and CMO - John Vincenzo to get their take on what makes XChange special, and why bringing this community together matters.

Turns out, there’s a lot more to XChange than what happens on stage!

𝐀𝐭 Exterro 𝐗𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔, 𝐍𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐯𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞, 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐂𝐈𝐎 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐲𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫 Theresa Payton ✪ took the stage for her keynote, AI and the Future of Us: Navigating the Promise and Perils of Artificial Intelligence.

And she took the conversation far beyond the usual AI hype.

Theresa spoke about the possibilities AI is opening up and the risks that come with them. From how it is changing our businesses and security to how it is already affecting our everyday lives.

Theresa gave the room a firsthand look at how modern cybercriminals are using technology, and why understanding what’s possible matters now.

It was the kind of session that makes you look at a familiar topic a little differently.
We caught up with Carmen Conn, CEDS, Allison P., Joe Utsler, and Mary Pena as they shared their thoughts with Tasneem Gandhi Bandukwala.

And this is just one of the conversations happening at XChange 2026, where customers, partners, experts, and the Exterro community come together to learn, share experiences, challenge ideas, and think about what comes next.

More from is coming. And there’s plenty more to experience.

Yesterday, XChange 2026 came alive.
Certifications, conversations, new connections, and a Welcome Reception that officially kicked off 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.

Because that’s what XChange is really about: bringing the people shaping this industry into the same room to learn from each other, challenge ideas, share what’s working, and figure out what comes next.

Today, we go deeper.

We’re pulling back the curtain on what’s changing at Exterro, what an AI-first future actually looks like, and where the platform is headed next.

There’s Exterro ARMOUR. From the big picture to an unfiltered, live look under the hood.

There are deep dives into FTK, data governance, eDiscovery ROI, autonomous investigations, and the conversations that happen when some of the smartest people in the room start comparing notes.

And then? We end the day at the Country Music Hall of Fame for our Customer Appreciation & Awards Dinner. Because apparently, one day of XChange energy wasn't enough.

This is XChange, Exterro's flagship annual user conference, where the ideas get bigger, the conversations get sharper, and what happens in the room can change what comes next.

Day 2, let’s go!

𝐖𝐞’𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐗𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 🎥
And we’re kicking things off with Certification Day. A chance to go beyond the basics.

Today is about going deeper. Building hands-on expertise, learning from the people who know the tools inside out, and connecting with others doing the same work.

And that’s a big part of what XChange, Exterro's annual user conference, is all about: bringing the community together to learn, share what’s working, ask better questions, and XChange ideas.

Tasneem Gandhi Bandukwala and Samantha Nguyen are on the ground to capture it all - the why, the mood, the insights, the conversations, and the moments in between.

So if you’re not in Nashville, we’re bringing some of it to you.

Stay tuned. There’s a lot more to come.
