During the reception, guests will also have the opportunity to view the Wondrous Space exhibit.

Dinner directly follows Directors Dialogue, an invitation-only, half-day program limited to 40 sitting directors and CEOs designed by corporate governance leaders to promote candid discussions of important governance topics.

Keynote Speaker

Join us for a captivating fireside chat featuring Joseph H. Davis, PhD, Global Chief Economist and Global Head of the Investment Strategy Group at Vanguard, and author of Coming Into View: How AI and Other Megatrends Will Shape Your Investments.

Joseph will sit down with Steve Liesman, Senior Economics Reporter at CNBC, for an insightful conversation exploring the forces reshaping global markets. Together, they will unpack the economic implications of artificial intelligence, demographic shifts, and other powerful megatrends—and what these transformations mean for investors, leaders, and organizations preparing for the future.
