BOARD
Powering growth in private enterprise across Europe
About BOARD
The inaugural BOARD takes place at the Grimaldi Forum, Monaco, from 22 to 24 March 2027. BOARD is a cross-industry forum connecting CEOs, Board Directors and Investors around strategy, capital and governance. The decisions that define private enterprise - on capital, control, risk, succession and scale - are shared across industries. Few environments recognise this. BOARD was created to close that gap. BOARD brings capital and companies into the same room: investors seeking proprietary deal flow, founders and boards looking for the right partners, and Non Executive Directors looking for their next appointment. The connections made here are not incidental. They are the point. Programming spans five decision domains of the modern board: · Investment, M&A and Capital · AI and Technology · Risk, Security and Resilience · Governance, Accountability and Board Dynamics · Strategy, Leadership and Human Capital Candid, peer-level exchange between people who have faced the same decisions and lived with the outcomes.
