Events

Boyden's leadership position in executive search is due, in part, to our expertise in each industry we serve. One way we stay on the cutting edge is by using our vast network to organise and host events that explore the issues facing our clients and partners every day. These events are all thought-provoking; some might even be controversial.

There is a wide range of formats, including discussions on "hot topics" in a particular industry; round table talks with successful CEOs and Chairmen and how they overcame adversity to make their organisation an industry leader; information sessions with top industry analysts, with their expert views and future predictions of the UK economy; academic seminars on thought leadership and other subjects.

Below you'll find a calendar of forthcoming events. For more details, click on the date to download a PDF that contains the particulars of that event.

While invitations are sent to leaders in the business community, any interested parties may attend. Please contact us if there's a topic or speaker you find appealing. There is no charge for attendance.

For more information, please contact Richard Hollister, Head of Events.
