Dedicated to utilising research and data, sharing best practice and supporting in-house leaders, the Apollo Leadership Institute brings together senior in-house lawyers to collaborate on culture, organisational change, leadership, and talent.
The Apollo Leadership Institute 2022 Summit will explore the most pressing DEI and culture challenges affecting in-house leaders today. General counsel and senior in-house lawyers will exchange ideas and co-develop actionable solutions - while learning from some of the leading figures in our industry. With the increasing focus on in-house leaders as culture carriers and as the level of urgency around DEI increases, can you afford to miss out?
