The Conference Board

The Conference Board, Inc. is a non-profit global business organization supported by business executives that holds conferences, convenes executives and conducts business management research. It holds tax-exempt status in the United States. It connects more senior executives each year. 

These conferences bring together authorities on a wide variety of economic and management issues. More than 150 chief executive officers address Conference Board events each year. Conference Board meetings have been independently rated as one of America’s top speaking platforms. 

The Conference Board also sponsors and manages more than worldwide management councils, attracting senior executives from virtually every business discipline. The Conference Board also operates offices in Brussels and Hong Kong. A similar but separate organization exists in Canada, the Conference Board of Canada.

The Conference Board's Board of Trustees includes prominent chief executives who lead global corporations. The Conference Board sponsors and manages the Ron Brown Award, the only Presidential Award honoring outstanding corporate citizenship, in White House ceremonies each year.
