The second edition of the National Boardroom Governance Summit will be held on October 14, 2025, at the Labadi Beach Hotel in Accra.
Organised by Professor Douglas Boateng, the summit is expected to bring together more than 800 CEOs, board chairs, directors, and governance professionals from Ghana and other countries. The event will focus on accountability, transparency, and leadership in corporate governance.
Professor Boateng said the summit aims to help leaders turn governance principles into measurable outcomes.
He noted that the 2025 edition continues efforts to promote practical solutions and strengthen accountability across the continent.
The theme for this year, “Daring to be Different: The Role of the Chairperson in Effective Boardroom Governance,” will examine how chairpersons can enhance board performance, support innovation, and build stakeholder trust.
The keynote address will be delivered by the Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah, reflecting government’s recognition of good governance as vital to development.
Speakers will include Akosua Apea Osafo of JLD Legal Consultancy; Professor Kofi Abotsi, Dean of UPSA Law School; Dr. Braimah of the Institute of Directors Ghana; Stephane Miezan of the Ghana National Chamber of Commerce; Chief Alhassan Andani, economist and former CEO of Stanbic Bank Ghana; and Mary Asare Yeboah, President of the Institute of Directors Ghana.
For the first time, the summit will be broadcast in French to allow wider participation from francophone Africa, as part of efforts to strengthen Ghana’s role as a hub for boardroom governance on the continent.
