All eyes on the board. Never before has there been so much pressure, visibility, and responsibility placed on boards of directors. The pace of business is moving at lightning speed, and companies face risks and opportunities that simply didn’t exist a decade ago. Cybersecurity breaches. The pressure to diversify. Activist investors. Global talent pools. This isn’t the new way of business; it’s today’s way of business.

Today’s boards are expected to consider the perspectives of all stakeholders – shareholders, employees, customers, communities, and even countries.  In this exclusive, intimate event, we discuss the evolving boardroom with some of the top leaders and boardroom experts in the business world. We’ll cover topics such as the need to diversify, board refreshes, the venture capital and private equity perspective, and more.

Join us for a morning of fireside chats, candid conversation and community. This event will bring together some of the top CEOs, investors, and board directors in the greater Boston area.
