Our 2026 program is a two-day murder mystery training event called "Death of a Contract."
Lead detective Laura Frederick will deputize attendees to help investigate a commercial deal gone terribly and mysteriously wrong.
Each session puts real contract provisions under the microscope, with expert speakers in character helping the audience figure out what went wrong.
Everyone helps analyze the actual contract language, identify the drafting failures, and race to figure out what happened before Laura shares at the event’s end who and what did the deal in.
The training is sophisticated, the characters are ridiculous, and the contract issues are ones faced all the time in the real world.
We're packing in a lot of practical contract training over two days.
The in-person program in Philadelphia offers no-fluff, to-the-point training that focuses on improving your understanding and skills in dealing with commercial contracts.

Our in-person event features lots of peer-to-peer learning
Each of our ten core training sessions are split into two parts: traditional training by our speaker and then small-table group drafting work. This format allows attendees to immediately practice the training and reinforces that with peer-based discussions.
