Introducing the NED Series by Forvis Mazars

What is the NED Series by Forvis Mazars?

Non-Executive Directors (NEDS) have always had to help businesses adapt to change, but today’s challenges are perhaps more numerous and often more unexpected than ever.

From geopolitical instability and economic fluctuations to climate risk, AI and digital transformation, the pressure on NEDs to deftly steward the companies of the future has rarely been more acute.

The NED Series by Forvis Mazars will explore the issues that matter most to today’s boards and will support Non-Executive Directors with fresh thinking, discussion of real-world dilemmas, and a trusted peer network. The programme offers a trusted space to explore topical boardroom issues and gain insights from leading experts across a broad range of sectors.

Created in response to feedback from our NED networks, the series offers a topical source of latest insight, practical briefings, and space to share experiences with fellow board members – it’s the start of a new community and a chance to learn as much from each other as from our experts and speakers.

The programme covers diverse topics from tech, geopolitics and economics to corporate governance, supply chain and risk management. The agendas will be shaped by NEDs themselves, featuring the topics they want to hear about, ensuring every event reflects the realities and challenges you face in the boardroom.

What makes our programme different?

• Topical and timely: We focus on the issues shaping boardroom decisions today and tomorrow.
• Peer-led and practical: Learn as much from fellow delegates as from our speakers.

This programme is for current and aspiring Non-Executive Directors, board members and senior leaders operating in complex, regulated or internationally active sectors. If you're looking to stay informed, connected and confident in your role, this is for you. Enrolling in our programme provides significant benefits, including exceptional networking opportunities.
