CLE Transformed: The Digital Summit Experience
Chief Legal Executives, a long-term Acuity Events client, runs a successful ongoing series of virtual summits titled Think Like a GC, designed to deliver cutting-edge insights, peer learning, and CLE (Continuing Legal Education) credits to in-house legal leaders.
With multiple events each year, the client counts on Acuity to provide expert planning, platform management, and behind-the-scenes technical and administrative support - ensuring each summit runs seamlessly and delivers top-tier value to participants.
The Challenge
Virtual events may avoid some of the costs and complexities of in-person gatherings, but they come with their own challenges:
Selecting and managing the most effective, cost-efficient streaming and virtual event platforms
Delivering a flawless technical experience for speakers and attendees
Maintaining audience engagement in an online setting
Managing CLE credit eligibility and application processes across multiple jurisdictions
Ensuring efficient administration and communication workflows over multiple event cycles
Acuity Events’ role was to optimize the process and experience across every event in the series, acting as a trusted extension of the Chief Legal Executives team.
