The Conference Board Councils give you access to an elevated level of conversation you won't find anywhere else. When you join, you become part of a select group of senior executives who occupy similar roles at leading companies and organizations. Through in-person meetings and rich connections you can tap any time, you will gain insights beyond your industry or region. You get the rare chance to talk with peers about issues, explore solutions, and develop lasting relationships. The result: cutting-edge ideas that change your perspective, jump-start progress, and save you time.
Each year, more than 4,000 executives from the world's leading companies participate in our 200+ Councils which range from the Automation Executives Council to the Strategy Executives Council, including dozens of targeted councils for CFOs, CHROs, CMOs, Chief Legal Officers, and more.
Enduring relationships with trusted peers are the core of the Council experience. Enhanced by our global, enterprise-wide reach, these relationships span the world and extend the value of Council membership. Confidential peer dialogue provides you with a broader perspective and shared experiences, as well as access to specific knowledge and best practices.
Councils are limited to 40 members who are carefully vetted to ensure a right fit. Council seats are available for individuals or corporate members for a fee.
