Highlights From State of Digital Contracting Summer 2022

Time for a pop quiz! True or false: digital contracting is the same experience for everyone.

If you answered “false,” you get an A. There are unlimited variables, including roles, industry, company size, and more.

We brought in the Ironclad Community for State of Digital Contracting to share real stories and practical advice like this. Shoutouts and yearbook signatures to our emcee Mary O’Carroll, as well as to Principal Alex Su, Guidance Counselor Chris Young, our special guest speakers from Asana, Thumbtack, Bitmovin, Qualia, and Demostack, and DJ Thad with his playlist of 80s hits that still hold up.

To quote Ferris Bueller, “Life comes at you pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” This is a good opportunity to surrender to a totally tubular learning experience. Be there and be square.

Bitmovin’s GC Ken Carter corrects some misconceptions about nerds and shares how contract automation is the key to finding more time for Dungeons & Dragons.

Octivia Marcel, Contract Manager from Qualia, explains how to align contract management with sales cycles to streamline the process for companies that have multiple products, complex deals, and remote teams.

Learn how to handle the particular challenges of managing vendor contracts from Ben Lazar, AGC at Thumbtack, a company preparing to double in size.

Understand the importance of having your contract ducks in a row from the financial perspective. Demostack’s VP of Finance, David Wieseneck, shares how he’s able to shift priorities and raise funds at a moment’s notice.

Asana’s Ashlee Best, Head of Global Legal Operations, and Daniel Tarle, Senior Legal Operations Analyst, have a righteous convo about the need to move quickly and stay compliant while taking your company public.

Chris Young introduces our new skills verification courses (yes, there are badges!), then lays down some truth about the nature of life. Snaps for wisdom.
