The boardroom sessions
Leading lights are the light beacons that indicate a safe passage for vessels entering dangerous channels. The Leading Lights Boardroom meetings intend to provide a safe navigation across digital channels in disrupting times.
Now that many global organisations are on the verge of a large-scale transformation, digital leaders are searching for their peers, to privately share experiences, learnings and pitfalls on related challenges. Leading lights offers an outstanding opportunity to connect with your counterparts in related industries, to discuss best practices, successes, challenges and learn from each other.
As sessions will be recurring, our Leading Lights Boardroom creates a long-term relationship with and among attendees.
Participation
Participants are all technology and/or digital leaders (typically VPs, CIOs, CDO’s, CTOs, CISOs and IT directors). We are welcoming seasoned executives and people with the ambition to become digital leaders.
We are committed to bringing together decision makers who operate on a high level. That’s why we vet all applications.
Within the platform, members act as representatives of the organisations they serve.
Within the discussions we observe the Chatham House Rule, with the aim of encouraging openness of discussion and facilitating the sharing of information.
Participation is free. And there’s no catch, your information will only be used for Leading Lights Boardroom purposes. We treat your personal and company data confidentially and in compliance with the GDPR.
