Member Outreach @In-House Connect

US

In-House Connect (\"IHC\") is where in-house counsel come to connect with peers, sharpen key skills, and advance their careers. IHC started ten years ago as an NYC-based Meetup Group. Every month, IHC would partner with law firms to host & organize free CLE classes. Twice a year, we hosted fun & festive networking mixers. Over the years, IHC has helped countless in-house counsel build relationships with peers, outside counsel, & vendors by organizing high-quality, curated CLE/skills classes. When Covid hit, IHC was forced to suspend its operations. Instead of giving up when the in-house community needed us most, IHC reinvented itself as an online-only networking group, hosting all events by Zoom and holding virtual networking sessions. Since then, our member and audience base, speaker quality, and ability to facilitate quality networking opportunities have grown exponentially. Inspired by our thoughtful, curated events and attendee quality, we have received high praise & gratitude from event attendees and sponsors alike. IHC\'s members and audience base are vast and diverse. We have hosted in-house counsel from startups to Fortune 10 companies, from all different industries, from all across the country. More than half of our audience is senior counsel level or above. About half of the in-house counsel who attend our events engage in virtual networking. In the future, we hope to include in-house counsel from Canada, Mexico, and London. Presently, our events are always open to in-house counsel. When we are able to, we also open our events to law firm partners, associates, legal services providers, and students. In the future, to support the continued growth of the group, we do anticipate charging a fee for access to our content and programming, either on an annual basis or per-event basis.Interested in learning more?
