      In today’s increasingly complex business and legal environment, good governance is more than a compliance requirement. It is a key driver of performance, resilience, and long-term value creation.

      Join KPMG in Romania and leading business, governance, and capital market professionals for an engaging discussion on how effective boards and strong governance frameworks can help organizations build trust, improve decision-making, and deliver sustainable success.

      Through keynote insights and expert panels, participants will explore the link between governance and performance, the evolving role of boards, and the latest European and Romanian developments in board accountability, diversity, and governance regulation.

      The event will conclude with a networking cocktail and dinner, providing an opportunity to exchange ideas and connect with business and governance leaders.

      The conference will be held in person at the KPMG in Romania headquarters in Bucharest, 89A Bucharest-Ploiești Road, and will be broadcast live on the Ziarul Financiar website on September 29, 2026.
