The summit starts on October 21, 2026.

The 2026 summit takes place in New York City, New York.

The listed attendee groups are general counsel, heads of legal, in-house counsel and Ninja Club members.

It is most useful for general counsel and heads of legal in North America who want peer conversation, since the day is built around panels, workshops and keynotes, and sponsors include corporate names such as PepsiCo, Microsoft and Mercedes-Benz. Lawyers wanting technical training would get less, since the format is discussion and networking, and the sponsor list is dominated by law firms and legal technology providers courting in-house buyers.

In-house counsel and law firm partners at legal summits in New York usually wear business formal or sharp business attire, with a suit or blazer, and attendees staying for the afterparty often keep the same outfit.
