Hundreds of governance leaders and expert speakers joined us in London on 7 and 8 July for two days of insight, best-practice discussions and thought‑provoking debates. And delegates were able to network with hundreds of peers from across the UK and beyond. Once again, we were delighted to have the support of our headline sponsor Diligent.
