5 answeredThe Berkeley Forum on Corporate Governance 2026 took place October 13–14, 2026.
The 2026 forum was held in San Francisco, California.
The published audience included judges, regulators, general counsels, board members, and corporate governance scholars.
General counsels, board members and governance-focused lawyers get the most from it, since a session was scheduled to feature Delaware Court of Chancery members and the speakers were billed to include Cooley and BLB&G partners and the general counsel of CalPERS. Operating managers with no legal or board responsibilities, or readers with no link to Delaware companies, would get less from a program centred on SB 21, succession planning and AI governance.
Legal and corporate governance forums usually call for business formal, meaning suits or equivalent professional attire, which fits a San Francisco setting with judges and general counsels present.
