2025 Roundtable for Chief Business Officers

Please join us in Washington, D.C. this spring for our signature in-person roundtable for chief business officers. You’ll have the opportunity to engage in highly interactive, executive-level conversations about the most pressing challenges facing business and finance leaders.
2024 attendees noted that convening with fellow chief business officers was time well spent:
- “The topics were relevant, the research was thought-provoking, and the conversations were excellent.”
- “This roundtable was a really useful conference and was a worthwhile trip and investment of my time.”
- “I left with new ideas to consider and implement.”
