GC Forum | The value of trusted networks

  • Event date 1 Dec 2026
  • Event time 15:30 - 19:00

Leadership, connection and the challenge of professional isolation

When you’re the person others turn to for advice, having a trusted network of your own matters.

Our next GC Forum will explore how peer relationships can help counter the isolation that can come with senior legal leadership, creating space to speak openly, test thinking and learn from fellow GCs. To help make the Forum as relevant and valuable as possible, we’d love to hear from you beforehand. Our short anonymous survey below will help identify the key themes to explore and shape the conversation on the day.

Agenda
  • 15:30 – 16:00: Welcome, tea and coffee
  • 16:00 – 17:30: Facilitated discussion
  • 17:30 – 19:00: Networking reception
