Directors Forum 2018: Directors, Management & Shareholders in Dialogue brings together investors, directors and management to engage in open, off-the-record dialogue about today’s pressing governance issues. Speakers will put a spotlight on the escalating impact of “corporate culture” on business success.
Hosted by Corporate Directors Forum, Directors Forum 2018 will be held on January 21-23, 2018 at the University of San Diego. It is designed to encourage interaction between attendees and the nation’s leading corporate governance authorities.
Attendance at the event is limited to ensure maximum participation and provide quality networking opportunities.
According to CorpGov.net Publisher,
In my experience, it is one of the most intimate corporate governance conferences and is the best for bringing directors, managers and shareholders together. See my coverage of Directors Forum 2017. One of my favorite perennial panels is “Shareholder Hot Topics.” I see one of the panels will be led by Frank Partnoy, probably the best moderator in the business.
Keynote speakers for Directors Forum 2018 include:
- Joann Lublin, Pulitzer-Prize Winning Journalist & Management News Editor, The Wall Street Journal; Author, Earning It
- Bruce E. Aust, Vice Chairman, Nasdaq & President, Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center
- Sharon Garrett, Director, Ross Stores; former CIO, Walt Disney Co.; former EVP, American Medical Response
- William D. Jones, Director, Sempra Energy; former Director, Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco; President, CEO & Director, CityLink Investment Corp. & City Scene Management Co.
Said Annalisa Barrett, conference co-chair:
Whatever your role – C-suite executive, investor, board member or other corporate governance professional – the Directors Forum 2018 conference will provide you with critical and timely insights from governance experts offering a framework for better decision-making.
