As proxy season wraps and new SEC guidance alters the landscape for shareholder engagement, public company boards are facing growing pressure to re-evaluate how they oversee executive compensation. At the same time, mounting geopolitical uncertainty—including tariffs and other unpredictable policy shifts—poses new challenges for evaluating executive performance, setting goals and communicating pay decisions to investors.

This Director Peer Exchange will bring together an exclusive group of public company board members for an off-the-record discussion on how to lead in this complex and fast-changing environment. You’ll gain insight into how institutional investors are adapting their expectations—and benchmark your board’s thinking on compensation and performance with peers from across industries. 

And for those able to stay through lunch, we’ll close the day with a special bonus fireside chat on the board’s role in workforce readiness and AI integration—offering timely insights into the broader responsibilities directors now shoulder as stewards of long-term value.
