Now in its eighth year, the summit will take place on 9–10 March 2026 at the Hilton London Syon Park, set within 200 acres of parkland just outside Central London.
Bringing together more than 100 senior speakers and delegates, Enterprise GC offers an unparalleled opportunity to connect, collaborate, and exchange ideas with some of Europe's most influential general counsel and buyers of legal services.

The event will include plenary sessions, workshops, keynote speeches, and roundtables, drawing on the elite of Europe's in-house profession as well as selected speakers from the wider business and academic community. A highlight of the summit is the gala dinner, hosted at the magnificent Syon House, offering an unforgettable atmosphere befitting the occasion.
Enterprise GC 2026 is designed for senior in-house counsel seeking to stay ahead of industry trends, enhance their leadership skills, and expand their professional networks.
