About the conference
The 2018 Channel Islands NEDs Forum has one purpose: to bring together NEDs from Guernsey, Jersey and beyond to discuss the issues that are hot in the non-executive space right now.
Run over half a day, the event comprises a variety of sessions and panels that will be informative and thought-provoking, and should give NEDs plenty to discuss long after the event is over.
It also provides the perfect opportunity for NEDs to network and make new connections that could lead to future opportunities.
The event is organised by BL Events in partnership with Deloitte in the Channel Islands and sponsored by Optimus Group.

| 09:05 | KEYNOTE Brexit has caused all sorts of uncertainty and it appears to have extended to the Boardroom with one survey quoting up to 20 per cent fewer non-executive directors being appointed in 2017. As companies are trying to figure out the required skills for new board members in this increasingly complex environment, our speakers will give their prediction on what will make an exceptional NED of the future. |
PAUL MUNDEN, Lead Governance Tutor at The Institute of Directors |
| 09:45 | THE ROLE OF THE NED POST-CARLYLE NEDs working in the financial services sector face even greater challenges than they have ever done before. This session will examine current legal issues including the practical implications of the Carlyle case and other leading cases. Just how are NEDs potentially exposed, what course of action can they take and do D&O policies really protect you from all liabilities? |

IAN SWAN, Partner, Babbe |

| 11:15 | ARE YOU PREPARED FOR A CRISIS? The threat of a cyber-attack is a critical risk that could damage shareholder value, brand reputation and customer sentiment. This session will provide background to the cyber landscape, highlight some best practices and arm you with the information to help you as a NED to ask the right questions in the boardroom. |
ADAM McELROY, Deloitte UK Cyber Specialist |
