About the Event

Legal has a reputation for being predictable. Beacon LIVE isn't. Join us on June 9 for an evening with a screening of Smooth Operators — A legal ops blockbuster based on true operational events. Then the room opens up and it gets real. San Francisco’s top senior legal leaders in one room. No panels, just unfiltered conversations. The energy then flows to dinner and top-shelf drinks. Ideas sharpen as the night goes on; the table gets louder in the best way. Nobody wants to be the first to leave.

Missed the event?

Here’s everything you need to know.

01

Top senior legal leaders. One room.

The guest list is intentional. Every person at the table has been hand-picked, which means the conversation starts at a different level and stays there all evening.

02

Evening builds its own momentum

It opens with a documentary screening, then the room settles into a roundtable, and somewhere between dinner and the last drink, the evening finds its own rhythm.

03

Honest conversations

Invite-only and off the record creates a different kind of atmosphere. The kind where people share what's actually on their mind, not just what they'd say on a panel.

04

Connect 
with peers

A room of senior legal minds actively shaping how their teams run - focused on scale, efficiency, and impact. Just conversations 
that start where most others end.
