All sessions will take place at Stanford Law School and the surrounding buildings and outdoor areas. Topics and times are subject to change.
Option 1: Directors’ College 101
Designed for new directors, but open to all, Directors’ College 101 includes a primer on fiduciary duties, a corporate governance simulation, and a workshop on business leadership in the age of AI. Each session is adapted from popular Stanford University courses.
Option 2: Golf at Stanford Golf Course
Play nine holes at the iconic Stanford Golf Course alongside other Directors’ College participants and select VIP guests. Because the course is not open to the public, this is a rare opportunity to experience a true Stanford tradition and a truly unique networking experience. Add this to your DC2026 registration.
Option 3: Art Tour and Wine Tasting:
Enjoy a private tour of Stanford’s renowned Cantor Arts Center, followed by a corporate governance-themed wine tasting.
