European Governance & Directors' Days
CORPORATE POWER & CORPORATE MONITORING IN EUROPE

27th and 28th of November 2007, Brussels

The Belgian Governance Institute (BGI) organizes, in collaboration with the Association Belge des Administrateurs / Associatie van Bestuurders in België (AB), the European Governance & Directors' Days. The conference will be held in Brussels and will be addressed to an international audience composed of practitioners and academics.

In essence, the program will focus on innovative governance issues of high relevance for the defined target groups. The central theme of this conference is corporate power and control in Europe. In particular, it will tackle the role of shareholders, boards of directors and management (the three actors in the CG-tripod) in the monitoring of firms.

In order to meet the aspirations and expectations of a mixed audience, the program will combine high-level discussions and presentations (in plenary sessions) with accessible and practically oriented workshops (in parallel work sessions).

Speakers include, among others, Becht Marco (ECGI), Bury Claire (European Commission), Brancato Carolyn (Conference Board), Butler Peter (Governance for Owners), Caprasse Jean- Nicolas (ISS), Colmant Bruno (Belgian Federal Ministry of Finance), Daems Herman (GIMV), Dallas Georges (Standard & Poors), Mallin Chris (Birmingham Business School, University of Birmingham), Montagnon Peter (ABI), Simon Joëlle (MEDEF), Thomsen Steen (Copenhagen Business School), Yea Philip (3i Group).
