Copy LinkShareholder activism has accelerated in 2026, with campaign activity reaching record levels. Activists are increasingly targeting larger companies and focusing on M&A, capital allocation, board change, and corporate strategy. Technology companies have drawn particular attention, including growing scrutiny of how companies are approaching AI.
At the same time, the playbook for activists and companies continues to evolve. Settlements remain the primary path for activists seeking board representation, even as board seats have become harder to win, while changes in institutional investor stewardship and proxy voting are reshaping how contested situations play out.
Please join us for our annual webcast in partnership with Cleary Gottlieb as we unpack the key developments in shareholder activism in 2026, lessons from this year’s campaigns, and what boards and management teams should be preparing for in 2027.
Discussion topics include:
Who should attend: Current and prospective board members; CEOs, general counsel, chief legal officers, corporate secretaries, and other C-suite executives; corporate attorneys; investors; corporate governance professionals; and other corporate practitioners.
Governance Watch offers summaries and concise perspectives on issues affecting corporate democracy, shareholder communications, and relationships, fiduciary obligations of directors, disclosure, compensation, and insider trading.
