Directors Dialogue brings together annually world-renowned corporate directors to engage in candid discussions of key governance topics. As the role of the public company director continues to evolve, board members are often faced with more complex decisions and increased demands on time. The 2018 Directors Dialogue continues to curate panels of the top thought leaders to engage participants in candid, closed-door governance discussions. Participants hear first-hand accounts of the challenging experiences faced by sitting corporate directors ranging from nano-cap to mega-cap boards. While engaging with panelists and the other participants, attendees gain insight into the standards by which their peers oversee their respective boards, as well as cutting-edge governance practices to take back to their own boards.
​ The program is limited to 40 sitting public company directors to ensure effective engagement between panelists and participants. The $1500 registration fee includes all program materials, meals, and one seat at the Directors Dialogue Dinner directly following the program.
