On 7 and 8 December 2020, Governance Institute’s virtual National Conference will bring together renowned company directors and business leaders from around the world — from the trusted voices who have led diverse organisations for decades to young and innovative leaders forging new paths.

We look forward to virtually welcoming you, our governance and risk management community from Australia and beyond, as we understand and prepare for the mega trends that will define the business landscape and shape strategy in the years to come.

We’re thrilled with the response to our 2020 virtual National Conference. If you’re like us and counting down the weeks to the event, we have something to quench your thirst in the meantime...
