A maximum of 12 companies, appointed by invitation only, will be offered a place for two senior representatives each to attend in-person Council sessions. The closed-door approach will provide members a unique opportunity to share freely insights to their latest respective ambitions and developments, and learn first-hand from the experiences and ideas of their top-ranking peers.

The Council will meet quarterly with rotating global locations. The inaugural meeting in February, will take place in Princeton, New Jersey.
