VCs, CEOs and independent directors
You should attend if you are on a Board of Directors or thinking about
becoming a Board member of a private or public company.

A simulation of a real-life Boardroom situation:
Re-live actual Boardroom situations in high-tech companies

THE CASE: Become acquainted  with our high tech company de jour - a real company and Board  of  Directors whose names have been changed to  protect the innocent (or guilty ) .

THE ROLE PLAY: You’ll be an  independent director on a mock board facing a real-life Board situation  that unfolds over two board meetings to allow you to apply your expertise and learn from others.  Both board meetings are on the same night with a break in between. On the mock  board of directors you will need to balance diverse shareholder interests, fiduciary duty, strategic vision and risk  mitigation. This is a great opportunity to develop more expertise in detecting and directing critical situations and managing board dynamics.

THE CHALLENGE: Instead of critiquing the actions of other directors in  tough situations, try your hand at managing difficult situations and test  whether your outcome leads to the greatest upside for all  involved.   

You will gain practical knowledge and experience relevant to your role as a board member.
You will renew connections or expand your network of peers.

Each session focuses on a few aspects of board responsibilities in a way that makes the information more tangible, meaningful and useable for directors.
