What is BOARD?

 

Landing in Monaco in March 2027, BOARD is the highest-density gathering of CEOs and boards from growth-stage businesses on the continent.

We convene Europe's most ambitious business leaders, investors, and strategists to build relationships, share knowledge, and unlock the capital and partnerships needed to scale.

At BOARD, you'll find the people navigating the core challenges of company growth: strategy, capital allocation, technology, risk, and expansion.

CEOs building ambitious companies. Directors guiding them. Investors backing them. Tech and advisory partners turning strategy into execution.

An Exceptional Venue - Grimaldi Forum

BOARD 2027 takes place at Grimaldi Forum, Monaco, one of the most distinguished congress and cultural venues in Europe. Opened in 2000 under the authority of the Principality of Monaco, it has hosted world leaders, heads of state and the most consequential gatherings in business, science, medicine and culture. In a principality built on the belief that excellence is the only standard worth setting, Grimaldi Forum is its most fitting expression.

There is no venue quite like it on the Mediterranean. Set between the sea and the Japanese Garden on the Avenue Princesse Grace, it is a setting chosen to match the nature of the forum itself - focused, considered, and away from the noise. Capable enough for the conversations that shape industries, distinctive enough to reflect the calibre of those in the room.

Julian Rose

“What excites me about BOARD is its clear-eyed recognition that technology and AI are now core boardroom competencies, not specialist side topics. The event is thoughtfully designed to help directors and executives cut through the noise, understand what truly matters, and make better strategic decisions. If it delivers on this vision, BOARD will quickly become an essential gathering for forward-looking leaders.”

“BOARD is shaping up to be one of the most exciting leadership gatherings conceived since Davos first launched. What stands out immediately is the deliberate focus on real boardroom issues and relationship-led deal flow, exactly what the private equity ecosystem needs in an increasingly competitive market. Bringing CEOs, Non Executive Directors and investors together in this kind of high-signal environment is both timely and genuinely differentiated.”

"The moment couldn’t be more critical for this event. Private enterprise in Europe needs stronger support, greater capital access and sharper board-level dialogue to compete globally, amid geopolitical uncertainty, regulatory fragmentation and technological disruption."

"Running a private company means playing the long game, often without the structures and safety nets that larger businesses take for granted. I've felt that gap. What BOARD offers is something genuinely rare: a space where leaders navigating exactly those pressures can talk openly, among peers who understand the stakes. Europe has needed this for a while."
