Peer Networks

The Conference Board Councils bring together professional peers in confidential, dynamic, cross-industry communities to learn from each other's experiences, draw on the group's collective insight and our renowned expertise, and collaboratively explore solutions to members' most pressing business challenges.

Our Governance Center, China Center and Center for Corporate Citizenship & Sustainability gather distinguished executives in facilitated, private and public sessions to discuss pressing and longer-term issues.
