The General Counsel Summit (GCS) 2024 was scheduled to take place on August 12-13, 2024, at the International Convention Centre (ICC) Sydney. Organized by ALM Global, LLC, the summit aimed to bring together senior legal professionals from Australia and around the world to discuss pressing issues and developments in the legal field.
The event's agenda included sessions on navigating economic pressures, building robust cybersecurity frameworks, leveraging artificial intelligence in legal teams, and adapting to changes in labor and employment laws. Roundtable discussions were also planned on topics such as ethical challenges of AI integration, driving change in diversity, equity, and inclusion, and strategies for successfully navigating the evolution of the General Counsel role.
Notable speakers slated for the summit included Sean Hughes, Head of the Office of General Counsel at Vanguard Australia; Chris Savundra, Executive Director and General Counsel at the Australian Securities and Investments Commission; and Emma Covacevich, Chief Executive Partner at Clayton Utz. The event was also set to feature networking receptions and opportunities for attendees to engage with peers and industry leaders.
The summit was designed for General Counsels, legal department leaders, and law firm leaders seeking to stay abreast of industry trends, enhance their professional skills, and expand their professional networks. However, due to circumstances beyond the organizers' control, the event was canceled.
