Every legal team is being told AI will change how they work.
Very few are given a roadmap on how it's actually being done.
Inscribe brings together 200 in-house counsels, legal leaders, and contracting professionals for candid discussions about successful rollouts, the playbooks they use on real deals, and how their contract data can move the business.
What happened at Inscribe 2026?
Ivo Collaborate became generally available. The whole contracting process, from intake through signature, all in one place. Collaborate reads incoming agreements, compares to your playbooks, and routes issues accordingly.
Learn MoreWe unveiled Ivo Sage, the first open-source model post-trained for long-horizon contract work, built with River AI. Download it, run it, and fine-tune it on your own agreements.
Learn MoreWe announced the Ivo-micro1 Contract Bench. A benchmark that grades judgment, not just edits, like when a model should push back and when it should escalate. Built with micro1.
Learn MoreA full day of incredible sessions spanning legal, operations, and AI. We kicked off Inscribe with a fireside chat between Ivo's CEO, Min-Kyu Jung, and HubSpot's CLO, Erika Fisher, followed by eight practical and strategic sessions and ending with special guest Aliisa Rosenthal, OpenAI's first commercial hire.

Agenda
Opening Keynote from Ivo CEO Min-Kyu Jung
Our CEO and co-founder will open the conference with a special keynote address. Companies measure almost everything they do, and then leave the contract portfolio — the record of every promise made and every dollar owed — largely unread. This is the case for changing that, and for what it means when contracts start informing how a business actually runs.
Min-Kyu Jung
Opening Fireside Chat
Our CEO stays on stage with Erika Fisher, the CLO at Hubspot, whose team is responsible for making sure the AI their company ships is fast, secure, and something customers can trust. That's the problem most of this room is working on now, from one side or another. The conversation is about where contracting goes as AI takes on more of the work, and what legal owns as it does.

From Back Office to Business Partner
For a long time, legal was where decisions went to get checked, not made. That's changing. The strongest teams are moving upstream, shaping strategy early instead of reacting to it late. This panel brings together senior legal leaders who've made that shift, speaking candidly about how legal stops being a gate and starts becoming a strategic partner.

Driving Adoption Across a Team
Many companies have the exact same experience: pilot goes well and a few people become power users, then use stalls for months. The issue is rarely the technology itself; it's the work of shifting how a team operates day to day. This session is a candid conversation about moving a group from curiosity to a completely new way of working: finding the internal champions who carry adoption further than any mandate, setting expectations that hold once the novelty fades, and bringing skeptics along without slowing the people already moving.

Contract Intelligence as a Source of Business Insight
Companies measure their sales down to the lead, track finance to the cent, and instrument operations end to end — and then leave the contract portfolio, the full record of every promise made and every dollar owed, largely unread. This session makes the case for contract intelligence as a genuine source of business insight, and for legal's role in surfacing answers that procurement, finance, and sales ops keep coming to ask for.

Building Playbooks Your Team Will Actually Follow
Every legal team has a playbook, and most of them exist in a document nobody opens after onboarding. The gap between the standard that was written and the one your team applies at 6 p.m. on a Friday is where potential risk compounds. This session gets into the craft of building playbooks that hold up under real deal pressure: clear enough to follow, current even as the business shifts, and applied consistently across reviewers and review cycles.

Non-Traditional Career Paths in Legal
A law degree opens more doors than most people expect. This session brings together people who trained and practiced as lawyers and have since moved into other functions, from legal engineering to marketing and beyond, to talk about the paths they took, the skills that carried over, and how they think about a legal career in a moment when the work itself is changing. Part career conversation, part look at where legal talent is headed next.

Under the Hood: Building Legal AI for the World's Largest Enterprises
Our Head of Engineering on what it takes to build a legal AI platform that's both reliable and rigorous enough for the world's largest companies. A few years ago, Ivo was a small startup. Today, it runs contract work for some of the biggest enterprises in the world. That process required solving hard problems most users never see: scaling to millions of contracts, keeping everything secure and fast, and turning a promising prototype into infrastructure a global legal team can rely on. He walks through what the process required, what bets paid off, and how Ivo became what it is today.
Didier Smith
Legal Ops as a Strategic Function
Legal ops has grown from a nice-to-have into the engine that keeps a modern legal team running, and no two functions look alike. This panel brings together legal ops leaders across different stages and segments to compare notes on what they own, what they automate, where they can add the most value, and how the role is changing as AI reshapes the work.

Ivo Live: Solving Real Problems On the Spot
A hands-on breakout with no slides and no script. Bring the problems you're actually stuck on, and our legal engineering team will work through them live with Ivo, breaking down the process as they go. Part workshop, part problem-solving session, this session is a chance to see how others in the room would approach the same challenge.
Ling Ye
Closing Fireside Chat
Our VP of Partnerships closes the day with Aliisa Rosenthal, who joined OpenAI as its first commercial hire, back when the sales team was two people and the product everyone now uses didn't exist. She spent the next three years building the commercial organization behind it, and watching a thousand enterprises attempt their own version of the same change. She's now a General Partner at a venture firm investing in what she calls the second wave of AI. If you want to know what moves enterprise AI adoption and what stalls it, this is the conversation.
