Wilson Sonsini is thrilled to sponsor Diligent’s Next Gen Board Leaders’ Summit in New York, a premier biannual event for new public company directors. This invite-only event features insightful panel discussions around the challenges and opportunities the boardroom presents and member-only networking opportunities.

Amy Simmerman, partner and head of Wilson Sonsini’s Corporate Governance practice, and Dottie Schindlinger, executive director of Diligent Institute, will have a fireside chat on “Communication Strategies for Board Members – Do’s and Don’ts.” Attendees will gain practical guidance on board communications, including board minutes and materials, social media posting, and the impact of AI.

Partner Catherine Riley Tzipori will discuss “M&A Trends and Strategies – What Board Members Need to Know” with Nichelle Maynard-Elliott, board member and governance advisor, and Daniel Simonetti, senior managing director at FTI Consulting. The panel will address core duties, pitfalls, and questions across the deal lifecycle.

This event is by invitation only.
