   3:30 PM - 4:15 PM | Leadership, Tenacity & the Power of Teamwork Featuring Eli Manning, Two-Time Super Bowl-Winning Quarterback and Two-Time Super Bowl MVP

Join Legalweek for a special interview with Eli Manning, two-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback and two-time Super Bowl MVP, whose career is defined not only by championship success but by the discipline, grit, and collaborative mindset that enabled him to lead under pressure and elevate the performance of those around him.

In this candid conversation, Manning will reflect on the defining moments of his journey, from setbacks to championship victories, and share the leadership principles that guided him through each stage of his career. He will discuss the importance of tenacity in the face of uncertainty, the role of trust and communication in building high-performing teams, and the lasting impact of mentorship both received and given. Manning will also explore how leaders can adapt, thrive, and continue to mentor others – even in an organization with varying leadership styles -- turning those differences into opportunities for growth and stronger team dynamics.

Attendees will gain insights applicable far beyond sports: how to lead with steadiness, inspire confidence in others, and foster environments where teams can flourish. This is a rare opportunity to learn from a leader who has navigated intense scrutiny, delivered in critical moments, and remained grounded throughout a celebrated career.

9:00 AM - 10:00 AM | 2026 State of the Industry Keynote - The Reckoning: Why Yesterday's Playbook Won't Guarantee Tomorrow's Success

Join Patrick Fuller and Heather Nevitt for a special Legalweek State of the Industry presentation. Drawing on ALM’s unique insights, this keynote session will provide a forward-looking assessment of the global legal market through data, analysis, and thorough research. Going beyond surface trends, the session explores the work behind the headlines—how firms, legal departments, and providers are planning, adapting, and investing to future-proof their organizations amid regulatory uncertainty and changing client demands.

This presentation will challenge legal leaders to envision what success will look like in five years and whether current strategies are designed to achieve it. By examining emerging risks, structural shifts, and opportunities within law firms, corporate legal departments, alternative legal service providers, and legal technology companies, the session emphasizes a key point: what has brought the industry to this point will not be enough to sustain it moving forward.
