Summit and Awards

Powerful stories of transformational leadership in private company governance.

 Join us for the second annual Canada’s Best Private Boards Summit and Awards, where we’re taking it up a notch.

This is a must-attend event for anyone passionate about private company leadership and governance.

This year’s theme is courage: the courage to add a meaningful board to your organization, the courage to be a trailblazer and to set a pace in governance for others to follow, the courage to be vulnerable and transparent as a leader, and the courage to ask tough questions.

Our winners demonstrate this courage every day.

Join us on November 4th as program winners, nominees and their board members, along with a community of private company leadership teams, investors, and professional service providers gather to learn and connect with their peers, and to be a part of our growing ecosystem of individuals who support Canada’s private sector.

We’ll cap off the day with a stand-up cocktail where the 2025 winners will be celebrated.

This summit is about powerful stories of transformational leadership in private company governance. If you have been trying to figure out how governance can take your private company to the next level, or, how you can have transformational impact as a board member inside of a private company, this is your chance to learn from the best.
