The way we redline contracts is changing, but not in the way most people think. AI is not here to redline for you. Used well, it's here to help you redline less, so you can show up more human, more strategic, and more effective at the negotiating table. In this landmark session, Contract Redlining Etiquette, author and Founder of Contract Nerds, Nada Alnajafi, goes beyond the book to explore what skilled contract negotiation looks like in the age of AI — and why the professionals who thrive won't be the ones who automate the most, but the ones who know exactly where human expertise, judgment, and relationship intelligence still win. Joined by fellow contracts thought leaders Nate Kostelnik, and Jessica Nguyen, this session will explore how to use AI to redline smarter, not more, how to negotiate effectively when both sides have AI, and why human expertise is your greatest competitive advantage right now. Join us Thursday, June 25th at 9 AM PT | 12 PM ET | 4 PM GMT for this FREE webinar!
