What To Expect At A Boardwave Dinner

The secret sauce to a really great networking dinner is the calibre of people you meet, the quality of the discussion, which is interesting and thought-provoking and finally the dining experience, whether it's at a smart venue, or Michelin Star restaurant. If you bring all these things together everyone has a great time, learns a little and meets new friends and colleagues.

Board development - what does good look like?

At our next dinner debate, we’ll explore the ingredients of a strong board from the perspectives  of - the CEO and the board Chair. How can a board add value, and why do some boards fail? What’s the ideal board structure, and what key skills should you be looking for when recruiting your board? What is the importance of a good relationship between a CEO and a Chair?

With lack of diversity a pervasive issue in the tech world, how can we build boards that fully represent the communities they serve, and ensure diversity of thought within the boardrooms of the best European software companies?

Hear from industry leaders and Boardwave Patrons, Elona Mortimer-Zhika (CEO, Iris Software) and Dawn Marriott (Executive Chair, Partner, team.blue, Azets and HG) as they discuss their experiences, challenges they have faced and work they believe is the right formula for a high performing Board.
