Board Stewardship Huddle 2024: Interactive Learning And Networking Evening
Board Stewardship is set to host a landmark conference, the Board Stewardship Huddle, on October 15, 2024, at Taj Santacruz, Mumbai. This high-powered event is designed to bring together the brightest minds from corporate and non-profit boards, including Independent Directors, CEOs, CFOs, Company Secretaries, General Counsels, Compliance Professionals, and service providers, to the boardroom community. This conference promises to be an invaluable platform for current and aspiring board professionals looking to enhance their governance skills and strategic influence.
What makes the Huddle unique?
The term “huddle” is more than just a meeting—it represents a powerful philosophy of collaboration, focus, and unity, much like a sports team coming together to strategise before taking action. When a select group of highly skilled professionals with deep boardroom expertise converge, it creates a dynamic environment for the exchange of ideas and actionable insights. This collaboration is fertile ground for pioneering solutions, innovative strategies, and collective initiatives, all aimed at achieving individual and shared success.
The atmosphere at the Board Stewardship Huddle will be one of mutual support and encouragement, fostering a rich learning environment. Engaging with peers committed to growth and excellence will inspire participants, opening up fresh perspectives and new pathways for professional advancement. Relationships formed within this network will be invaluable, offering opportunities to secure board positions, leadership roles, or key advisory roles that align with each participant’s career trajectory.
A jam-packed agenda for thought leadership
The event will also feature the official launch of an e-book titled All About Nomination and Remuneration Committee. In addition, three interactive sessions, comprising in-depth discussions and fireside chats, will explore the most pressing topics for board professionals today: Enhancing NRC (Nomination and Remuneration Committee) Performance, Crafting CVs for Independent Directors, and Personal Branding for Independent Directors. Each session promises to delve deep into these topics, equipping attendees with essential tools for boardroom excellence.
Meet the experts
The sessions will be led by none other than Board Stewardship’s Founder, Vikesh Wallia, who also serves as Managing Director and Editor, along with Shailesh Haribhakti, Chair of the Advisory Board and a celebrated Chartered Accountant, recognised as a leading Board Icon in India. The expert panels will feature some of the brightest minds in the field, including Purvi Sheth, CEO of Shilputsi Consultants and Independent Director on multiple boards; Dr. Rajgopal Thirumalai, Independent Director at HDFC Ergo General Insurance Company Ltd. and Zywie Ventures Ltd.; Dr. Prakash Kewalramani, CEO of Impact HR Services and Director at Careers4Sure; and Dr. Amit Nagpal, Founder of Your Board Profile and Knowledge Partner at Board Stewardship Inc.
Interactive learning and engagement
This thoughtfully structured event aims to engage board professionals in knowledge exchanges that are both interactive and intellectually stimulating. Each session is designed to last no more than 45 minutes, ensuring a focused, high-energy experience that maximises engagement while respecting the busy schedules of participants. Sessions will conclude with dynamic Q&A segments, allowing attendees the opportunity to directly interact with industry leaders and gain deeper insights into governance and leadership strategies.
