ANNUAL

Boardroom Summit

and Board Committee Peer Exchange

The Essential Event to Network and Learn from America's Board Directors

September 18-19, 2025
Washington, D.C.

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 with your peers to share and refresh your perspective, build your skills and prepare for the next chapter of board governance.
