2026: A Year in Preview, presented by The Conference Board, is an exclusive, annual gathering of CEOs and C-Suite thought leaders for peer-to-peer discussions and mobilization for the year (or two) ahead.

2026 will be a year of reckoning for CEOs. Economic uncertainty, regulatory scrutiny, geopolitical tensions, and AI-driven business models are reshaping competitive landscapes at a pace few predicted. What will it take to lead successfully in this era of high-stakes transformation?

This is not a passive briefing – it’s a dynamic and essential strategy session for those leaders who want to be ahead of what’s coming. With an agenda fueled by data and insights from The Conference Board’s 26th annual C-Suite Outlook, you will join your peers to dive into everything from AI’s next frontier to the realities of workforce reinvention, from capital market shifts to the hard choices that CEOs will have to make on sustainability, trust, and security.
