CEO Club Events
Several times each year, Boston’s business leaders gather at Boston College's Chief Executives Club, long recognized as one of the country’s premier business forums. The keynote speakers at these events are CEOs drawn from the top echelons of their fields – thought leaders who welcome the opportunity to address an audience of their peers. We invite you to experience these inspirational talks by watching the videos, noting key takeaways, and browsing the press attention these events generate.
