PL
Priscilla Lam
General Counsel · Logistics, HK

"We needed a one-day roundtable on cross-border data flows for thirty in-house counsel. Conclave delivered the agenda, the venue at Pacific Place, and a producer who held the day to within three minutes of the printed times. The recap pack arrived on a Tuesday and we used it at the next legal management meeting."

Marcus Cheng
Partner · Central, HK

"The agenda design engagement was the right call. Our internal team produced the actual conference, but the track logic memo and speaker shortlist were genuinely better than what we'd have arrived at on our own. Two review rounds were enough — they don't pad the timeline."

Angela Wong
Head of Events · Bar Association programme

"We brought Conclave in for speaker liaison only — we run our own logistics for the annual symposium. The difference in how prepared the speakers arrived was visible from the first session. Briefing packs were thoughtful, rehearsal calls were chaired, and on the day the green room felt calm."

Jasper Ng
Senior Counsel · Financial services, HK

"What we appreciated most was the producer's memo at the end. Honest about a weak panel session and direct about how to fix the format next year. That's not the kind of feedback you get from a typical events agency."

Rebecca Ho
Director, Legal Operations · Wan Chai, HK

"Bilingual programme with English and Mandarin sessions. Translation booth placement, simultaneous interpretation arrangements, and printed materials in both languages — all handled. One small note: I'd have liked the speaker shortlist memo a week earlier in the engagement, but that's a quibble."

Edmund Shek
Programme Chair · Academic legal forum

"We're a small academic programme without a dedicated events team. Conclave produced our biennial forum end-to-end and made it feel like a programme run by people who knew our field. The session formats they suggested — debate-style for the morning, fireside in the afternoon — worked exactly as described."

Section 02 — Case Notes

Three programmes, summarised

Identifying details have been generalised at the clients' request. The substance is intact.

CASE NOTE 01

Cross-border GC roundtable

Half-day · 38 attendees · Pacific Place
CHALLENGE

In-house team needed a confidential discussion of cross-border data transfer practices among GCs from HK, SG, and PRC offices. No internal events function.

SOLUTION

Roundtable production with strict confidentiality protocol, Chatham House Rule, no recording, three structured sessions.

RESULTS
  • 96% attendance from confirmed list
  • All sessions on time within 4 minutes
  • Recap pack delivered in 5 working days
  • Repeat engagement booked for 2026
CASE NOTE 02

Multi-day arbitration symposium

3 days · 220 delegates · Central HK
CHALLENGE

Established symposium felt repetitive in its tenth year. Internal team producing the event wanted external help shaping the programme.

SOLUTION

Six-week agenda design engagement. Track restructure, three new session formats introduced, refreshed speaker shortlist.

RESULTS
  • Delegate satisfaction up 18 points
  • 14 of 21 sessions rated "would attend again"
  • Agenda templates retained for next year
  • Internal team adopted run-of-show format
CASE NOTE 03

Annual partner retreat speakers

14 speakers · 2-day retreat · Off-site
CHALLENGE

Firm runs its own logistics for the partner retreat but wanted dedicated speaker care across a season of three internal programmes.

SOLUTION

Speaker liaison module across all three events. Briefing packs, rehearsal calls, on-site green-room support, post-event correspondence.

RESULTS
  • All 14 speakers rehearsed before the event
  • Zero last-minute briefing scrambles
  • Partner feedback called speakers "noticeably better prepared"
  • Renewed for the next programming cycle
