Every year, ACGC hosts a three-day leadership conference & training skills institute that brings together its members and partners. This event is dedicated to empowering, championing, and elevating the global standing of the African in-house legal community. It’s an exceptional opportunity for Africa’s corporate and government counsel to engage in knowledge exchange, thought-provoking discussions, and the establishment of valuable professional connections. The sessions encompass a blend of leadership development, in-depth roundtable discussions on current issues, and technical skills training.
