Asia Pacific Board Leadership Forum 2026

From Oversight to Performance: The Board’s Role in Shaping
Long-Term Value
17 & 18 November 2026 | Virtual Forum

 

Boards across Asia Pacific are navigating a more complex leadership environment than ever before.

AI is reshaping decision-making, stakeholder expectations are rising, CEO performance is being assessed through a broader lens, and succession planning now demands earlier, more rigorous attention.

The APAC Board Leadership Forum 2026 will bring together board directors, CEOs and senior governance leaders to explore how boards can move from oversight to performance—strengthening leadership accountability, governance effectiveness and long-term value creation in a rapidly changing environment.

Across two virtual half-days, this year forum theme, From Oversight to Performance: The Board’s Role in Shaping Long-Term Value, will examine five timely governance priorities: governing responsibly in the age of AI, assessing CEO performance beyond short-term financial results, enhancing board effectiveness, future-proofing CEO succession, and building leadership capability beyond the CEO.

Join Russell Reynolds Associates and distinguished board leaders from across the region for insights, candid discussion and actionable perspectives on the board’s evolving role in shaping sustainable performance and organizational resilience.

 

At this event, we will be discussing five topics:

  1. Governing in the Age of AI: Judgment, Risk, and Accountability
  2. Assessing CEO Performance: Going Beyond the Numbers
  3. Enhancing Board Effectiveness: Driving Real Impact
  4. Future-Proofing CEO Succession: The Board’s Mandate
  5. Beyond the CEO: How Boards Build Future-Ready Leadership
