Global Institute & Visionary Awards Presents:

Boardroom Bound Workshop: A Strategic Pathway for Women Leaders

KPMG Board Fit, Presented by the KPMG Board Leadership Center

Boardroom Bound is a workshop specially designed to provide C-suite executives with an understanding of the board landscape, good practices that exemplify effective board leadership, and inform their personal journey to the boardroom. Participants will engage in real-world scenarios, hear directly from seasoned board directors and governance experts, and refine their understanding of business through a boardroom lens. The program helps equip future board members to contribute confidently and strategically at the highest levels of corporate governance.

This workshop will run concurrent to the main stage sessions. Participants are welcome to attend the entirety of the Global Institute sessions by purchasing a full access ticket.
