The 2026 GC AI Summit
By Cecilia Ziniti, Co-Founder and CEOPublished
Taking place January 22, 2026 in San Francisco, California.
The GC AI Summit is the first-ever, annual gathering for the in-house leaders shaping how AI transforms modern legal work. Hosted in San Francisco, the event brings together general counsel, legal operators, regulators, technologists, and investors who are defining the next era of corporate legal practice.
The Summit focuses on one theme: AI has moved from curiosity to core infrastructure. It is changing how teams deliver work, make decisions, communicate with the business, and scale their impact. The day is built around the conversations that matter most to in-house leaders: regulation, product innovation, practical adoption, team leadership, and the business outcomes that follow.
Throughout the program, attendees can expect:
-
Forward-looking perspectives from the people building, adopting, and governing AI.
-
Candid conversations on the real opportunities and constraints facing in-house teams.
-
Practical frameworks for automating workflows, upskilling teams, and driving measurable impact.
-
Cross-functional insight from legal, product, policy, and investment leaders.
-
A clear view of the road ahead for corporate legal teams in an AI-first world.
The Summit is intentionally small, limited to roughly 150 senior in-house leaders. It’s a room of GCs, AGCs, Legal Ops heads, product leaders, academics, and policymakers who are close to the work, and shaping where AI goes next. The scale is intended to keep the conversations sharp and candid, and ensures everyone leaves with real insight they can use.
The goal is simple: help in-house teams understand where the field is going and give them the tools to lead their companies through the next decade of AI-driven change.
