About the event

AI is quickly becoming a core boardroom issue, influencing how organizations think about growth, capital allocation, risk and long-term competitive advantage. As investment accelerates, boards and executive teams are being called on to provide greater strategic oversight while ensuring AI initiatives are tied to clear business priorities and measurable value.

Join Suzanne Brown, Director of NYSE Board Services, for a WLDA Leadership Session exploring how AI is reshaping board-level decision-making and what senior leaders should consider as they evaluate where and how to invest.

  • How to connect AI initiatives to measurable outcomes and long-term enterprise value
