Ready for today
Resilient for tomorrow

This year’s AGS focuses on the balancing act at the heart of modern governance: responding to immediate challenges while preparing for emerging risks, opportunities and uncertainty.

In the most interactive program to date, and along with your peers, you’ll have practical opportunities to explore the tension between now and next, results and resilience, reality and possibility.

A program designed for what directors need most

Helping you navigate today's priorities and prepare for tomorrow's challenges, this year’s AGS is more interactive than ever before.

More governance guidance for today

Stay current with all-new Boardroom Briefing sessions, Pamela Hanrahan's annual regulatory update, the latest NFP study findings, plus a conversation with News Corp Australia’s Executive Chairman, Michael Miller.

More strategic foresight for tomorrow

Think ahead with sessions on building resilience, turning AI investment into real returns, insights on why fewer companies are going public, and a special address from Australian Securities and Investments Commission Chair, Sarah Court.

More opportunities to test your thinking

With roundtable discussions, education sprints, and the new ‘Ask an expert’ session, the 2027 program is designed to create more opportunities for conversation and collaboration.

Top voices for AGS27

Bringing together some of the most influential voices in governance, business and leadership, AGS27 speakers will challenge your thinking and inspire new perspectives on what's next. Speakers will be added as they’re announced.
