New Delhi, India
10 Sep 2026
100 Curated In-House Leaders
Hosted by Events 4 Sure in collaboration with GeneralCounsel360 (GC360)
A closed-door executive forum where senior in-house leaders examine how organisations are governing data risk, cybersecurity exposure and AI accountability under India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act.
Organisations Represented at Events 4 Sure & GC360 Forums
For nearly two decades, Events 4 Sure has convened senior leaders responsible for legal, privacy, cybersecurity and governance across global enterprises and leading Indian organisations.
WHY THIS FORUM MATTERS
Governance Challenges Facing In-House Leaders
Senior legal and governance leaders are increasingly responsible for complex decisions involving:
responding to large-scale personal data breaches
managing vendor, cloud and third-party data exposure
governing AI systems processing personal data
enabling compliant cross-border data transfers
demonstrating organisational readiness under India’s DPDP framework
For General Counsel, the challenge is no longer simply understanding regulation — it is ensuring the organisation’s governance framework can withstand regulatory scrutiny and operational complexity.
