9:00 AM - 10:00 AM | Opening Keynote - Cultivating Tomorrow’s Legal Solutions - Fearlessly Innovate, Adapt and Succeed
In a world of growing change and rising unpredictability, uncertainty is now the only certainty that even the world’s most accomplished organizations and legal departments can count on. At the same time, transformative leaps in technology such as AI and machine learning, challenges such as growing regulatory oversight and mounting economic headwinds, and a boom in remote and virtual operations continue to remake the shape of the modern workplace. What do all these coming seismic shifts mean for legal pros and both the enterprises and stakeholders that they serve? And how will all these cutting-edge advancements redefine the way in which organizations and working professionals craft business and operating strategies going forward?
In this dynamic and engaging fireside chat, we sit down with award-winning futurist and expert witness Scott Steinberg – hailed as The World’s Leading Business Strategist for his game-changing work with over 1,500 brands – to discuss what tomorrow will hold. Tune in to discover the transformative impact that emerging trends such as these will have on legal departments and working professionals, the countless new possibilities that they’ll open for organizations going forward, and how tomorrow’s leaders can leverage new strategic innovations and approaches to adapt to changes in the market and geopolitical landscape, as well as legal and regulatory environments – and stay one step ahead of the curve as well.
