Stop Presenting. Start Connecting.

Houston, are you ready to lead the next legal conversation?

We’re not looking for polished slide decks or generic talks. We want real legal leaders – General Counsel, Managing Partners, and Legal Tech builders, who’ve navigated regulatory shifts, scaled with automation, and built solutions that actually work.

After the caliber of speakers from Google, Zendesk, McAfee, and global privacy and AI leaders in San Francisco, we’re bringing that same bold energy to Houston, a city built on grit, growth, and global impact.

This is your moment to share hard-won insights and shape what’s next for the legal industry.
