Stop the Work Before It Reaches a Lawyer
Legal teams keep buying tools that make lawyers faster at the work already on their desk. Almost none of them are asking why so much of that work reached a lawyer in the first place. This session examines what changes when you redesign the system upstream, before the request ever hits an attorney’s inbox.

The Capital Scoreboard: What Capital Actually Rewards
Legal leaders measure AI in hours saved. The people writing the checks measure something else entirely. This session reveals the three numbers capital actually tracks and why the legal AI story is a growth story, not an efficiency one.

Radical Alignment: How Legal Earns a Central Role in the Business
86% of General Counsel believe legal is a significant contributor to business success. Only 17% of C-suite executives agree. This session examines what actually closes that gap: not better communication, but a deliberate shift in how legal defines and delivers enterprise value.

Managing Regulatory Change
Regulatory change stopped being a Wall Street problem. Tech, healthcare, and consumer platforms now sit under AI, privacy, and safety mandates, with states, EU members, and international bodies writing conflicting rules where federal guidance may not follow. This session examines what a defensible regulatory change program actually requires, and how to know when to build it versus buy it.

If It’s Not on the Sheet, It Doesn’t Exist: What It Actually Means to Have an AI Strategy
Every legal leader says AI is their strategy for the next three years. Almost none of them can show what that means task by task, dollar by dollar. This session introduces a four-category framework that turns a vague AI ambition into a plan a CFO can actually hold you to.

What Happens After the Prompt?
AI is changing professional work faster than many of the systems around it can adapt. In this interactive session, Kim Wolfe puts the audience inside a real decision, with new information arriving as the scenario unfolds, and asks them to make the call in real time.

Judgment Is the Product
When every firm has access to the same AI tools, capability stops being the differentiator. This session examines what actually separates the lawyers and firms that clients will still choose when the tools are equal, and what it looks like when a firm invests as seriously in judgment as it does in technology.

Should the Seat Be a Person?
For decades, the advice was simple: surround yourself with people smarter than you. AI just added a question nobody has fully answered yet. This session examines what that means for how leadership teams get built, and what one CEO is doing differently because of it.

The Coffee Paradox: Why AI Won’t Shrink Legal, It’ll Expand It
Every legal leader assumes AI means less work and a smaller market. A 160-year-old economic principle says the opposite is what actually happens. This session makes that case through a market everyone already understands, and draws out what it means for how legal functions plan headcount, budget, and growth over the next five years.
