In a year marked by a United States presidential election and lasting economic tensions, organizational success continues to lie chiefly in sound governance. Today, board members face a myriad of exacting investor and regulatory standards, while juggling ever-rising consumer expectations, all the while ensuring the right people have a seat at the table.
ODX returns June 12-13, 2024 for its 19th year of directors-only education and networking. Our two half-day event features interactive debates, case studies and expert-led roundtables curated by the Financial Times and Agenda. Join us in New York City to discuss evolving priorities and bring exclusive insights back to the boardroom.
This event is held for sitting board directors only and will follow the Chatham House Rule.

What's On
The Outstanding Directors Exchange will take place in-person over two days.
Our team understands that there’s nothing like the power of convening with peers to foster insightful discussion. We also recognize the value of face-to-face networking. Because of this, the ODX will only take place in-person.
"Loved the case study on Boeing and Caesar’s and also the multiple choice for the Activist session. Valuable and real life." -Sheila Hooda, Independent Board Director, CEO & President, Alpha Advisory Partners
