3rd Annual 

Fullstack GC Conference

Automattic HQ, San Francisco, CA

Today's GCs must operate across a full spectrum of practice areas including corporate/VC, litigation, regulatory, employment, IP, privacy, international, compensation, and more.


When engineers cross disciplines they are referred to as "fullstack." In our annual conference, we provide practical guidance for those of us aspiring to be the "fullstack GC."


*By invitation only. Non-transferable. Limited to the most senior lawyer (i.e. GC/CLO/Head of Legal) at each company or fund.


Approved for MCLE credit

“As the GC, and only lawyer, at a growing startup, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and isolated.  The TechGC events connect me with similarly situated attorneys for networking and offer up to date and relevant education, best practices, and resources.  Thanks for all that you do!”

Sarah Feingold, General Counsel, Vroom, Inc.

The 3rd Annual Fullstack GC Conference will take place at the Automattic Lounge in beautiful downtown San Francisco.

"Being part of the TechGC community has been an invaluable resource. As the only lawyer at my company for the first few years of operation, it was extremely helpful to get to know a network of peers who had considered many of the same legal issues that arise at a growing tech startup." 

Erin Abrams, vp of legal affairs, via
