AI x GC New York 2026: Strategy and Governance for GCs

AI x GC New York 2026 is a peer-driven working forum designed for General Counsel and Legal Operations leaders to transition from AI pilot projects to a governed, scalable AI capability within corporate legal departments. The event is organized by Inside Practice, focusing on strategy, implementation, vendor control, adoption, and audit-ready oversight.

Key topics include leveraging AI to increase throughput, reduce reliance on outside counsel, and absorb demand without adding headcount. Discussions will cover practical governance frameworks that enable confident AI use at scale, including policies, privilege and confidentiality boundaries, logging, and quality control aligned with established risk frameworks.

Attendees will explore how legal teams are embedding AI into daily workflows, such as redesigning intake and triage, integrating with matter management, contracts, and knowledge systems, and building workflows with built-in governance, permissions, and validation. The event will also highlight high-value in-house AI use cases driving current savings, including contract review and playbooks, intake and self-service, matter visibility and cycle-time reduction, and outside counsel management, all aimed at cost control, predictability, and better utilization of internal legal capacity.

The event offers peer-driven case studies, expert panel discussions, and networking opportunities, providing community access for attendees to connect and share insights. Notable speakers and detailed session information will be announced closer to the event date.

AI x GC is tailored for General Counsel, Deputy/Assistant General Counsel, Heads of Legal Operations, legal technology leaders, privacy and compliance stakeholders, and in-house teams responsible for transformation and efficiency. Attending this event will equip participants with the knowledge and tools to effectively implement and govern AI within their legal departments.
