4th Annual FullStack GC Conference (2018)

Lyft 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 3.5 MCLE credits (including 0.5 D&I) in NY and CA.

"One of the best I’ve ever attended (and I’ve been to my fair share). The speakers, content, venue, food/beverages, and organization were all A+. I’m bringing back a number of practice pointers and issues to consider in improving the legal function at my organization."
