What our attendees say

The ACC NatCon is a spectacular conference. Besides the great substantive legal presenters, the networking, the awards dinner and welcome drinks by the sea, the highlight of NatCon 2025 was not legal but science! Milo Wilkinson, the Behavioural Scientist, as the closing speaker, was truly inspirational. She taught us how strong the mind is and the need to take care of it. Looking forward to what great inspirations 2026 in Sydney brings.

The ACC Australia National Conference is the pre-eminent event for in-house lawyers in this country. As the only conference of its kind in Australia that is run by in-house lawyers for in-house lawyers, it stands head and shoulders above the other conferences run by for profit organisations. For any in-house lawyer wishing to advance their career, swap ideas with their peers or learn new skills, this is a must attend event.
