Who attends the Board Professionals Conference?

The conference format is designed to intentionally connect you to the people, resources, and ideas you need to meet significant governance and leadership challenges.
Note: Neither board members nor chief executives are eligible to participate in this event—those individuals should instead register for the 2027 AGB National Conference on Trusteeship.
