Upcoming GGI Programs: Directors Dialogue Unplugged
GGI and KPMG LLP are hosting Directors Dialogue Unplugged: Eds & Meds Edition on Wednesday, Feb. 11, 2026, at the Four Seasons Philadelphia.
A select group of higher education and healthcare leaders are gathering for a facilitated peer exchange about the unique challenges and opportunities facing Philadelphia’s “Eds and Meds” — from policy shifts and public trust to financial strategy and digital transformation.
Unplugged features the same confidential peer-to-peer exchange on current corporate governance topics as GGI’s annual Directors Dialogue but in an even more intimate and interactive format.
By Directors, For Directors: Programs and Content
GGI keeps the dialogue flowing between and among corporate and nonprofit directors, creating a trusted space for peer-to-peer exchange on the most critical issues in governance — from accountability and transparency to ethics, risk and performance.
