"The Conference Board provides trusted insights for business worldwide – and running leading-edge corporate citizenship and sustainability conferences, councils, and seminars is core to what we do. We have had the privilege of a 15 year relationship with Gib Hedstrom and Pat Mahon – first at Arthur D. Little and more recently running our conferences. They brought skill, amazing speakers, great sponsors, and cutting-edge programs."
