GCN ANNUAL SUMMIT 2026
CREATING VALUE IN A CHANGING CORPORATE LEGAL LANDSCAPE
Wednesday 25 March 2026 from 9:15 AM to 6:00 PM, set in the unique surroundings of Buitenplaats Kameryck (south of Amsterdam and west of Utrecht), including two highly outstanding Keynotes, two GCN Speed Dates, after the GCN Lunch a GCN Network Walk along a remarkable nature trail, two GCN Roundtables and, of course, the well-known GCN Drinks Reception.
Nowhere else in the Netherlands do you meet so many other GCs, Heads of Legal and CLOs in a single day!

With AI accelerating change at an unprecedented pace, the corporate legal landscape is being reshaped from the ground up. Both in‑house legal teams and external advisers must rethink their positioning and redefine how they create value. At this GCN Annual Summit, we will explore how to redefine our role as GCs, reshape our teams, and build future‑ready legal services powered by strategy, sound judgment, technology, talent, and trusted advisers.

Registration is now open, and you are warmly invited to sign up. The GCN Annual Summit is exclusively for GCN members. Are you a GC but not a member, and yet interested? Then please email our Community Chair, Michiel van Straaten, at michiel.vanstraaten@generalcounsel.nl.
