11:00 AM - 3:30 PM | 2027 GC Intensive - The GC as Enterprise Leader

The ever popular GC Workshop is back for 2027 in an all new format. Our GC as an Enterprise Leader Intensive is built for leaders ready to move beyond managing Legal and take a more active role in shaping the business.

The General Counsel’s role continues to extend far beyond leading the legal function. Today’s GC is an enterprise executive— shaping strategy, advising the C-suite and board, guiding the business through risk and disruption, making high-stakes resource decisions, and determining how people, technology, outside counsel and data come together to support the company’s priorities. This year's program is designed around that expanded mandate. 

Through TED-style talks, executive case studies, rapid-fire insights, and peer discussion; GCs and senior legal leaders will tackle the strategic choices that define modern legal leadership: where Legal should focus its time and resources, how AI and technology change the department’s operating model, how to make better decisions with imperfect information, and how to lead a legal function that can keep pace with the enterprise.
