High-level Board Conference 2026
On February 23, 2026, Danish Industry (DI) convenes Chairs, Vice Chairs and CEOs from Denmark’s largest companies and foundations to a high-level conference on Board Governance in 2026.
I am pleased to extent this personal invitation to the conference. Together with your peers and leading professional experts, we will explore how geopolitics shape and affect board governance in present time.
Geopolitics have become an inevitable factor in board governance. Shifting power balances, debates on resilience, concerns about trade wars, sanctions, new technologies and ideological demands directly influence companies’ opportunities and responsibilities. Complex implications of China’s global ambitions, changes in US foreign policy, and Europe’s strategic difficulties entail new risks, create new paths and raise additional questions for boards to address; business meets politics at an unprecedented scale. These new territories challenge the traditional framework for strategic decision making of professional boards.
At the same time, they present future opportunities for companies that can demonstrate resilience, adapt to changes and explore new avenues with confidence. That is why we are convening leading experts, Chairs, and CEOs for a high-level conference to explore the critical questions for boards to consider, the key areas for board attention in 2026, and concrete strategies to navigate an increasingly unpredictable and evolving world.
The conference will be held on February 23, 2026, from approx. 16:00 to 20:00 at DI’s headquarters in Copenhagen. The conference is organised in cooperation with Spencer Stuart and the Board Leadership Society.
