The NED Forum

Non-Executive Directors are expected to provide effective oversight while navigating an increasingly complex business, regulatory and technological environment.

This forum will bring together experienced professionals to explore some of the key issues shaping the role of today’s NED. The agenda will cover board responsibilities within listed companies, the oversight of tax returns, the implementation of AI in the boardroom, directors’ rights and responsibilities during investigations, responding to cyberattacks, and the role of NEDs in successful mergers and acquisitions.

Through a mix of panel discussions and focused presentations, the event will offer practical insights to help directors strengthen governance, manage risk and contribute more effectively to strategic decision-making.

Designed for NEDs, board and committee members, chairs, company secretaries, c-level executives, founders and investors. Registration is €50 per attendee
