NICG Conference
“Board Dynamics”
The NICG Conference "Board Dynamics" is fully in the spirit of today's corporate governance concept and its potential development in the near future. The University of St. Gallen and Swiss Re therefore for the first time in summer 2019 launched an event addressing the dynamics on the Board of Directors.
The conference intends to provide a platform for the exchange of knowledge, stimulate discussions and communicate possible development potentials. The aim of the event is to make a valuable contribution in order to close certain existing research gaps, to open up new and innovative topics and, from a broad spectrum of subjects, to deepen and expand the existing cooperation between academia and practice.
Personalities with various regional, national and international backgrounds take part in the conference programme to share their experience from private as well as listed companies. All this will be complemented by presentations from experts in academia, disclosing their knowledge and theoretical points of view in round table discussion and workshops.
