GCN Think Tanks
GCN organises several substantive General Counsel NL Think Tanks where General Counsel meet. Any General Counsel affiliated with GCN can participate in any GCN Think Tank and is invited to attend. If it did not sound so awkward, ‘Do-Tanks’ would be a better term, as they are interactive sessions where participants share many practical experiences and questions. For about three hours, you will interact in-depth with other GCs in various formations, often guided by other General Counsel or by external experts. Tremendously informative, directly applicable and often cost/time-saving!
GCN Think Tanks are explicitly for and by GCs. New Think Tanks, topics and themes are suggested by the GCs themselves. The GC Quarter masters play an important role in this. GCN has organised the following Think Tanks, among others.
- 2024: GCN Think Tank, Continuing the AI journey for Legal Leaders
