Directors' Day 2023 - Summary Articles
16 November - ECCL

The sold-out full-day Directors’ Day 2023

The first full-day ILA Directors’ Day was held on 16th November at the European Conference Centre Luxembourg on Kirchberg and was sold out.

The day featured presentations of technical information and high-level insight of relevance to local boards of directors, with introductions by Virginie Lagrange, chair of ILA, and Thomas Seale, the Master of Ceremonies.

The morning featured ideas of why we disagree on climate change and how directors should think about AI. After lunch there were breakout sessions on funds, IT security, and the role of the Corporate Governance Officer, followed by insight into the governance challenges around the Paris 2024 Olympics, the outlook for Luxembourg, and finally, the traditional conversation with CSSF director general Claude Marx. Finally, certificates were presented to graduates of ILA’s governance course.
