Join us for this exclusive Chartered Member & Chartered Fellow breakfast briefing hosted by IoD sponsor Marsh.
Today’s boards are operating in an environment where risks arrive faster, hit harder and connect in unexpected ways from geopolitical tensions and fragile supply chains to AI disruption and ever-tougher regulation.
At this breakfast briefing, hosted by Marsh, we’ll bring governance leaders together to shine a light on the short- and long-term risks boards can’t afford to overlook. Drawing on insights from the Navigating Global Risks in 2025 Pacific Report and the IoD Directors & Officers Insurance Report, our panel will explore:
You’ll walk away clearer on where governance needs to evolve and with practical tools to help your board anticipate risks, make better decisions, and build resilience.
This event is proudly supported and sponsored by Marsh.
