ANNUAL CONFERENCE

 
The job of General Counsel has never been more challenging or required a more diverse skill set and depth of experience. With higher demands for productivity, coupled with fewer resources, the challenges are daunting. Technological innovation on the one hand and aggressive governmental regulation on the other create a wealth of opportunity offset by a minefield of new restrictions. Every in-house leader--whether with a Fortune 100 company, or a small privately held company--must relentlessly search for new processes, technologies and strategies for increasing productivity.  The unsettled worldwide economy only exacerbates an already difficult job.
 
This November, join in-house leaders in the pursuit of knowledge for leading teams to higher productivity and effectiveness.

 

Speakers

The annual conference is unique among legal conferences in both participant demographics and format. This event is offered exclusively for in-house leadership and conference underwriters and sponsors. Peer-to-peer networking and sharing legal best practices is the purpose of the conference. Theater lighting, large stage, and real-time audience polling creates a face-paced and content packed day of learning unlike any other legal conference.
