GLOBAL MANAGING PARTNERS SUMMIT 2009 London- Sofitel St James | 4th & 5th June 2009
ABOUT THE EVENT The Global Managing Partners Summit [GMPS] will be an opportunity to learn and share information amongst peers from around the world, on areas of critical importance to all Managing Partners. As the world is growing smaller the issues that Managing Partners face on the day to day basis go beyond borders and the inaugural GMPS will be an opportunity to hear leading speakers and experts address current and pertinent issues. The event follows on from Asia Pacific’s leading event – The Managing Partners Forum, which paved the way for successfully planned and operated events exclusively for Managing Partners. This event will follow on from this custom and provide yet another independently researched and produced event with an innovative and cutting–edge programme like no other on offer in this area. It will enable the facilitation of learning new skills or enhancing old ones through the direction of our expert speakers and motivators. The role of the Managing Partner is ever more demanding and challenging and the objective of this event is to provide education, networking and leadership development skills to leaders of law firms, so that they can meet their firms objectives. The event will be set in one of London’s most prominent and outstanding 5 star venues in the central business district and over 2 days. The format of the event includes: targeted conference sessions, strategy round tables and informative discussion groups to enhance your learning experience and peerto-peer networking opportunities to unwind and absorb the days undertakings.
