By Amarendra Bhushan for CEOWORLD Magazine Updated:March 18, 2009

CEOWORLD Magazine is delighted to be among the Media Partners of the UK Corporate Governance Summit to be held on Thursday 16 – 17 June 2009 at London.

“The UK Corporate Governance Summit will take a detailed look at the state of play for UK businesses, and propose real, tangible solutions to the biggest corporate governance problems being faced by UK business today.“

Thought you might be interested in something that will be of use to your corporate governance team.

Ethical Corporation has just launched their first conference on the topic, and it has developed into a pretty impressive show. They’ve got speakers like:

•   Lord Leon Brittan of Spennithorne, Non-Executive Director at Unilever
•   David Jackson, Company Secretary at BP
•   Stephen Haddrill, Director General of the Association of British Insurers
•   David Frick, Executive Board Member and Senior Vice-President, Corporate Governance, Compliance and Corporate Services, Nestle
•   Miles Templeman, Executive Director at the Institute of Directors

That list sets them apart from other conferences in the area, and the 20+ speakers coming along (on 16 – 17 June in London) will be able to answer all your big questions on topics like effective risk management; executive remuneration; non-executive directors and shareholder dialogue. See their agenda here.
