Boardwave Accelerate

Share and solve your business challenges with Boardwave Breakouts

Part of our Boardwave Accelerate Programme, our Breakout Groups of 8-10 like-minded CEOs & Founders meet quarterly for half a day, in these self-directed, professionally moderated, private sessions. Curated by stage of growth, group members together candidly discuss and overcome their shared business and leadership challenges and build a trusted "inner circle" of fellow leaders that they can rely on for years to come. With unique access to matched Patrons and Nextwavers, and a Boardwave panel of experts ready to help as needed.
