2 The General Counsel Forum The General Counsel Forum is a community of more than 700 general counsel (70%) and senior managing counsel (30%) representing more than 390 companies, non-profit organizations and government agencies. Ninety-two percent of our members are with major corporations. We encourage our members to consider our underwriters and sponsors for new client opportunities, and appreciate fully the quid pro quo inherent in our underwriters and sponsors participation in the Forum. Based on a survey of our members, 79% reported that when they need a law firm or legal service or product provider for new matter, they consider Forum underwriters and sponsors. When you need a law firm, or legal service or product provider, do you consider Forum Underwriters? With respect to our members purchasing power for legal services and products, the total outside legal spend is a remarkable $1.842 billion. Forum events take place from February through December. Each year we schedule more than 100 meetings and events, including breakfast, lunch, dinner, and cocktail events; two golf tournaments; two awards dinners; and several sporting events. Meetings and events are held in Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio, and provide local programming and networking. Our annual Conference in 2015 will be at the La Cantera Hill Country Resort (Nov 19 & 20). Our goal is to help improve the professional lives of our members through peer networking and knowledge exchange, and professional development in best practices, ethics, governance and compliance. Similar organizations provide networking too, but more often than not they focus on practice of the law knowledge exchange rather than sharing ideas and discoveries about leading and managing a legal team. Information on how to reserve a sponsorship can be found on page 16. Sponsorships are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. 2

9 NEW VENUE! 17th Annual Conference of General Counsel (Nov 20) Join the Forum at our new venue, La Cantera Hill Country Resort, for our 17th Annual Conference of General Counsel. Eschewing the Mount Rushmore of talking heads, the Conference of General Counsel is led by legal best practice thought leaders who make their presentations in stand-up fashion in a theater-in-the-round setting. Under professional stage lights and before an audience in a darkened ballroom, the morning and afternoon sessions follow a no-break format with only a brief introduction before each new session. This creates a momentum and an intimacy between speakers and the audience that is unlike any legal conference. Nestled in the beautiful Texas Hill Country just north of San Antonio, Texas, the resort provides breathtaking views of the Hill Country and downtown San Antonio from one of the highest points in the area. Ranked #2 on the Top 30 Resorts in North America and among the Top 50 Golf Resorts in the U.S. by Conde Nast Traveler, the $115-million hilltop retreat combines the best in golf with the best of luxury. The 2015 Conference theme has not yet been determined, but it will be equally substantive as in previous years: General Counsel: Not JUST Lawyers Anymore The GC as the Corporate Conscience Building an Indispensable Legal Department Revitalizing The Legal Department Faster Better Cheaper: The Unrelenting Need to Create More with Less How to Learn from Billion Dollar Lessons : A Legal Odyssey The Trusted Advisor Lessons in Leadership Getting Back to Business: 360º of Legal Strategy We are offering sponsorships of every size and type to meet your marketing needs, beginning with our anchor sponsors (Platinum, Gold and Signature). 9
