Join us in Nashville, TN, July 7-10, 2026

Harmony doesn’t happen by chance - it is intentionally structured, carefully facilitated, and deliberately sustained. At this year’s National Conference, we’re celebrating the corporate governance professionals who foster harmony in their organizations, orchestrating balance among diverse perspectives, priorities, and pressures, and enabling a range of voices to be heard in achieving a unified purpose: advancing their organization’s strategy in a world defined by complexity and constant change.

The Society’s National Conference is the premier annual governance event in the U.S., with compelling programming and a unique opportunity to connect with peers, corporate directors, investors and other experts in the governance field.

2025 National Conference Attendee

This is always one of my favorite times of the year - spending time with fellow governance professionals to share ideas and experiences. Although we come from all over, we are connected by the work we do and the challenges we face. Each conference feels like picking up right where we left off - learning and laughing with both new and longtime friends!

- Mary Pat Bolin, Manager Corporate Governance and Legal Operations, New Jersey Resources
