Introducing 5 New SuperPower Tracks

This year, we’re not tweaking the format

— we’ve completely reinvented it.

Program Sessions

1. SuperPower Stage

Power. Purpose. Progress.

On the Superpower Stage, you’ll experience game-changing keynotes and powerhouse panels — conversations with real talk at their core. This is where leaders, disruptors and trailblazers come together to share the insights and superpowers that are reshaping the profession.

Across two days, the Superpower Stage will host global voices, legendary lawyers and cultural icons. Together, they’re not just talking about change — they’re driving it, with a vision for transforming the profession and creating a future where this community thrives

2. Career Mastery

Built around your journey.

Our Career Mastery track brings you something different: development that speaks directly to your experiences and shows you how to navigate them. We offer complimentary one-to-one sessions with professional coaches, giving you personalised strategies for your next step. Our masterclasses go deep - from handling tough feedback to building out your rainmaker DNA.

Workshops are designed for where you are in your career. Trainees get practical guidance on surviving the two-year interview. Mid-level lawyers learn how to break through plateaus and push forward. Partners discover what GCs really want — and how to deliver it.

Across two days, you’ll get real talk from senior lawyers, coaches, and industry experts who understand the profession inside out. Career Mastery is about more than skills — it’s about equipping this community to thrive at every level.

3. Future Tech

The tools. The trends. The transformation.

Future Tech is where the legal profession meets innovation. From future-proofing your career to cybersecurity, this track is about giving lawyers the confidence to navigate rapid change. You’ll hear real stories from pioneers building legal tech solutions, experience live tech demos and explore where the profession is heading next.

Future Tech isn’t about hype — it’s about equipping this community with the knowledge and foresight to thrive in a world where law and technology are inseparable.

4. Lifestyle

Because your life is your superpower.

The Lifestyle Track is about thriving beyond the office — building wealth, nurturing family, protecting your wellness, and finding joy. Here you’ll explore how to move from income to legacy through generational wealth, discover the cultural and financial power of investing in African art and tap into practical strategies for balance and wellbeing.

Alongside the learning, you’ll also find spaces to relax, recharge, and take care of yourself -because thriving isn’t optional, it’s part of the plan.

5. Premium Experience

For leaders at the top of their game.

Hosted in our exclusive Mansion building, the Premium Experience is a rare and unusual offering: a leadership track created specifically for this community. Every masterclass, roundtable, and peer coaching session is designed with your realities in mind — giving you the chance to grow at the highest level in an environment that truly understands you.

Premium delegates enjoy intimate roundtables with GCs on what clients really value, confidential peer-to-peer coaching, and masterclasses that sharpen the skills every senior leader needs. A specially curated interactive workshop will help you refine your communication and elevate your influence.

And because thriving means more than professional growth, the Premium Experience also includes indulgent extras: professional makeup sessions, relaxing massages, and a self-care class designed to refresh, reset, and restore.
