Featured Program
Agentic Audit Forum
Agentic AI is rapidly changing how companies operate, make decisions, execute transactions, and manage financial and operational workflows. For boards and audit committees, the question is no longer simply how to oversee AI. It is how governance, controls, assurance, and accountability must evolve when AI systems can act on behalf of the enterprise.
The Stanford Directors’ College Agentic Audit Forum is an intensive three-day program bringing together leading directors, executives, academics, and practitioners to explore the emerging governance framework for agentic AI.
Online Program
From Insight to Action: Advancing Enterprise AI Governance is a new, free online program designed to help corporate investors and board members gain a deeper understanding of AI systems, the benefits and business applications for AI, and best practices for managing AI-related risks in corporate environments. This program features lectures by renowned Stanford faculty and leading AI experts, along with case studies, interviews, and optional live Q&A sessions for direct engagement with experts.

The Rock Center hosts executive education programs and conferences for directors and senior executives, including our flagship program Stanford Directors’ College and Directors’ College 101.
