This year's event provided a platform for directors and executives to engage in crucial discussions shaping the future of corporate governance.

With a focus on innovation, accountability, and inclusivity, the summit underscored the evolving role of boards in addressing today’s fast-paced and complex business landscape.
With the support of NACD, the Latino Corporate Directors Association (LCDA) played a pivotal role at the summit, hosting the largest gathering of its members to date. LCDA's strong presence highlighted the growing influence of Latino directors in corporate leadership.
