Page 31 - FDCC Flyer Spring 2022

We are delighted to invite all of our corporate counsel, as well as defense counsel and their corporate clients to the 2022 Corporate Counsel Symposium
– “Resilience & Grit in the Face
of Change,” which returns to Philadelphia live and in person on October 16-18, 2022. After a brief “medical leave of absence” the CCS will once again sit atop the FDCC’s three foundational pillars - Knowledge, Justice, Fellowship – and provide attendees with what they need to be better lawyers, clients, leaders and friends.
We are privileged to lead this year’s interactive program and have been hard at work with the entire CCS Committee to plan a program
that we hope will exceed your expectations. Over the course of 3 days beginning Sunday afternoon and ending Tuesday morning, the Philadelphia Downtown Marriott
Hotel will buzz with energy as FDCC members, clients, counsel, colleagues and guests listen to and discuss the issues that are most affecting their businesses, firms and practices.
Just as we are in our day jobs, the planning committee will be nimble and ready to pivot to address big issues that crop up. Our goal is
to provide at least 8 hours of CLE including 90-120 minutes of ethics credits.
As important as the formal education is to a program like the CCS, so too are the quiet (and
loud) conversations attendees will have with each other at breaks, receptions and meals. We plan to provide ample opportunities to meet old and new friends, and build the fellowship community that makes the FDCC so special.
The 2022 CCS will just be the beginning. It will lay the foundation for other corporate counsel focused programming throughout the 12 months leading up to when the CCS will convene again in Philadelphia in 2023. So get in on the 2022 ground floor, make your way to Philadelphia, grab a soft pretzel, some scrapple and a cheese steak, and settle in for an experience that will leave you wanting to come back for more.
Stay tuned...registration will open soon.
