ILANZ Conference 2018 - Register Now
What have you done this year that has energised your enthusiasm for the in-house legal profession, exposed you to innovation and new ways of thinking and helped you meet a great bunch of in-house lawyers?
It can be hard justifying the time and budget coming to a conference out of town. In this day and age learning can be done anywhere, anytime and with a plethora of digital tools but nothing can replace the face-to-face experience and connection. In the words of a wise chief legal adviser who always brings a good number of his team: "The ILANZ conference effect lasts about three months and people have a renewed enthusiasm and real energy for their role after attending".
Join us and experience the collegiality and connection of the ILANZ conference.
