Silicon Valley Directors' Exchange (SVDX) is a non-profit organization established to develop and deliver insightful and actionable director education, encourage and facilitate conversations among directors on important and current issues, and provide "director only" opportunities for dynamic interaction and connections between board members living in the San Francisco Bay Area.SVDX works in cooperation with universities, corporate governance centers, and other organizations to better serve both public and private boards. Most of our events are open to all sitting board directors and interested parties. Events and programs include regular morning sessions that tackle hot topics and current issues facing boards with a hands-on and practical approach informed by director experience. These and similar sessions are infused with data-driven research provided by our many affiliated academic faculty and business partners. We also host a variety of specialized afternoon and evening sessions for small board groups including peer-to-peer discussions for specific committees and/or particular board roles including non-executive chairs, independent lead directors, and chairs of most standing committees. These SVDX sessions have tackled a wide range of topics including CEO and board succession planning, the new best practices concerning cybersecurity, the board's role in "top-down" tone and culture, shareholder activism, M&A pitfalls, FCPA and other difficult compliance topics, integrating risk management and strategy at the board level, and risks and opportunities in the era of AI and Machine Learning.
