CPD
Learn from established directors on how they approach governance, got their first roles, and developed their careers.
The First Break panel discussion and networking event is designed around sharing useful steps, tips and trends for those in the planning, early and emerging stages of their governance journey.
Panellists share how they transitioned into governance, developed their portfolios and engaged with opportunities through the IoD, and other professional learning, to forge their governance careers. Hear their experiences and thoughts on future trends and developments in the sectors they operate in, and how the principles of good governance are played out.
Following the panel discussion, you have the opportunity to network with senior directors over drinks and canapés.
