REGISTER TO ATTEND IN-PERSON HERE

Join us for dinner at the Mills House in Charleston. This event will begin with a reception followed by a dinner where subject matter expert from Pearl Meyer, Patrick Haggerty and our NACD board members will lead a peer-to-peer discussion.

Reserve your seat for an evening of insight, connection, and conversation.

M&A is one of the most consequential decisions a board makes, yet the greatest risks often emerge after the deal is signed. Beyond validating strategy and financials, boards and their compensation committees need to assess whether leadership is equipped to deliver on the deal thesis and whether incentives are aligned with shareholder outcomes. 

This session will focus on how directors can oversee execution through talent management, succession planning and incentive design, while maintaining independent judgment during fast-moving transactions and staying engaged through integration.

Looking forward to seeing you in-person!
