The only event exclusively for sitting public company board directors; off-the-record sessions open the door for you to network and learn from fellow board directors who have been in your shoes and experienced the same challenges you’re facing today – an uncertain economy, an evolving workforce, navigating AI, hard-driving regulators and more. Come together on September 16th-17th in NYC with your peers to share and refresh your perspective, build your skills and prepare for the next chapter of board governance.

The spate of regulations in the U.S. and European Union that mandate, or soon will, increased disclosure by publicly traded companies on climate and other social and environmental risks will likely build a fire under boards to better grasp these issues, and the risks and opportunities they pose to companies. At the same time U.S. investors are pulling back billions from sustainable funds amid an ESG-backlash, employees and customers want to see their companies’ commitment to it. And, anyone that is part of a global supply chain can’t discount the importance of it. So how do boards find the middle ground? We’ll debate the issues to get to some actionable steps for boards to take with their stakeholders. 

Freshfields partners Pamela Marcogliese, Oliver Board, Steven Li and Jacqueline Marino will facilitate the Peer Exchange on September 16, 2024.
