Who attends the Board Professionals Conference?
Join your fellow board professionals at the AGB 2026 Board Professionals Conference, the only national conference designed by, and for, board staff. The conference format is designed to intentionally connect you to the people, resources, and ideas you need to meet significant governance and leadership challenges.
