Welcome to the Better Boards Conference 2016

We will be updating this blog with news, insights and key ideas from the Better Boards Conference 2016 across the weekend, so keep checking back! This year the Conference is being held at Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) 29-31 of July. We’ll be posting photos and highlights from plenary sessions, selected workshops and the CEO’s Innovation Tour and Board Member Innovation Tour. We’ll try to provide information on some of the fantastic not-for-profit organisations we’re visiting and interacting with over the weekend. We encourage you to take a look at their websites, read about the innovative work they’re doing and learn from the game-changing moves they’re making in order to govern for maximum impact

 

Please join the conversation and interact with our speakers, trade exhibitors and fantastic attendees by commenting below or connecting with us on social media. We will also be tweeting from @betterboards. Please share your tweets with us and other delegates by using the hashtag #betterboards.
