Once again, last year’s Conference of General Counsel separated it from all other legal conferences. The audience of general counsel, managing counsel, and Forum underwriters and sponsors spent the day with 7 speakers in an intimate theater-in-the-round setting (click on the camera below to see pictures from the conference).
Our keynote speaker—Adam Bryant—provided one of his first presentations about his new book, The Corner Office—a compendium of 63 interviews of CEOs regarding leadership. Conference participants recieved a copy of the book and had plenty of time to ask questions of the author. Our other speakers provided insightful presentations ranging from personal leadership performance, and how to manage a multigenerational workforce, to right-sizing a legal department. All of this in a compact day of networking with leaders of in-house legal departments and outside counsel, service and product providers.
Pre-conference events were the annual Golf Tournament at the newest TPC course in Texas, the Women’s Caucus (30 women GCs and managing counsel networking and relaxing in the largest resort spa in Texas), and the Magna Stella Awards Dinner, our annual awards for in-house excellence, presented to 9 winners this year, with 450 attendees from across the state. Again, click on the camera below and you may find pictures of friends and colleagues.
