About The Event

In an era marked by rapid transformation, geopolitical tensions, and stakeholder scrutiny, today’s board leaders must look beyond the headlines to see what’s ahead. Visionaries brought together four of New England’s most forward-looking CEOs for a powerful discussion on the forces shaping the future of business and governance.

These industry leaders—representing sectors from advanced materials to global manufacturing—shared their insights on innovation, sustainability, risk, and opportunity in an increasingly complex world. From navigating global markets and AI disruption to redefining leadership in a purpose-driven economy, this was a rare opportunity to hear from those driving real change.

This event was held on Sept. 17, 2025 at the Westin Boston Seaport District.
