The Convergence Imperative: Board Readiness for AI, Quantum, Blockchain & Innovation Risk

Join NACD Chicago for one of the year’s most dynamic and forward-looking programs—crafted to prepare directors for the rapidly converging landscape of advanced technologies and board-level disruption.

Hosted at the Microsoft Technology Center, this experience will bring together public company board members, leading experts, and top innovators to explore how boards can stay in front of technologies including Agentic AI, GenAI, quantum computing, blockchain, digital assets, and cyber-resilient infrastructure.

This is not a panel. It’s a curated exchange of insight, oversight, and boardroom-tested strategy.
