Dear Northeast Chapter Members:
Last week, ACC Northeast - Association of Corporate Counsel hosted our largest-ever substantive event (outside of Summerfest) — and what an incredible success it was! With over 90 members in attendance, "Unlocking the Algorithm: AI from the In-House Counsel’s Desk" brought together legal minds to explore the evolving intersection of artificial intelligence and in-house legal practice.
This event wouldn’t have been possible without the support and vision of so many:
🙏 Thank you to our presenting sponsors:
Ankura
Dentons
Hinckley Allen
🍽️ Thank you to our catering sponsors:
Exterro
Beacon Hill
👏 A special thank you to our ACC Northeast - Association of Corporate Counsel Vice President, Alex Aferiat, and Programs Committee Co-Chairs, Danielle Lemack and Jason Ellis, whose leadership and creativity brought this concept to life in such an impactful way. This event space would not have been possible without the work of ACC Northeast - Association of Corporate Counsel board member Donna Killmon!
Events like this remind us of the power of community, innovation, and collaboration. Here's to continuing the conversation and leading the way in delivering insights that foster innovation for the in-house legal practice!
We hope to see you at other upcoming ACC Northeast - Association of Corporate Counsel events in the near future: https://lnkd.in/edRfYsSv.
