What Corporate Boards Need to Do Now to Prepare for Major Developing Technologies, New Regulatory Initiatives, and Geopolitics
As the corporate landscape continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace, staying ahead of major developing technologies, regulatory trends, and geopolitical shifts is crucial for corporate boards.
Join us for an immersive two-day summit at Cornell Tech in New York City, coupled with virtual pre-work, to prepare for today’s most urgent opportunities and challenges, including AI, other developing technologies, and geopolitics.
Designed specifically for board members and senior leaders, this unique executive program will equip participants with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate a rapidly evolving global business and technology environment. Through engagement with Cornell faculty, seasoned business and legal practitioners, former senior government regulators, and directors of public and private companies, you’ll come away better prepared to capture the upside and effectively manage the disruptions presented by major developing technologies and international dynamics. In addition to presentations and panel discussions, you’ll have the opportunity to participate in peer-to-peer sessions to share experiences and explore practical ways to implement better/best practices where there is a gap.
Ultimately, this certificate program aims to enhance the capabilities of corporate boards in strategically leading their organizations into a future with resilience, innovation, and sustainable growth.
