NACD PSW | UCLA Corporate Directors Symposium 2026

Please join us, as we partner with UCLA Anderson Executive Education, for the 19th Annual Corporate Directors Symposium on Thursday, November 12, from 7:00 AM - 5:00 PM at the Jonathan Club in Downtown Los Angeles.

Corporate Directors Symposium (CDS) is an all-day conference and is the preeminent NACD directors event on the West Coast hosting 175+ board directors. Attendees have the opportunity to network with fellow directors and CDS sponsors, and learn from peers on top-of-mind board issues to take back to their organizations.

Who should attend? CDS is a premier gathering for experienced board directors and governance leaders.

Our theme this year is, "Governing at the Speed of Change."
