A GC is more than just the top attorney. To be a successful GC is to be a highly cross-functional partner, as well as an internal and external thought leader for your organization. But it takes work, both to establish and foster successful relationships with various members across the C-Suite, as well as build the internal and foundational underpinnings personally to be viewed as an impactful partner, and not just a lawyer, in the growth of your organization.
Join 250+ of your fellow TechGCs live and in-person at our annual Fullstack GC Conference. With multiple industry-specific small group substantive breakouts on topics important to you, TechGC's flagship event will have attendees walking away with actionable information and invaluable connections to their closest peers.
*By invitation only. Limited to TechGC Charter Members in good standing. Existing basic members may upgrade to charter membership as part registering for this conference.
**5.0-6.0 CA / NY CLE Credits Pending (nontransitional). Certificates may be used to apply for reciprocal credit in other states (see guidelines here).
