The countdown to PRISM 2026 has officially begun.

PRISM 2026
October 5–7, 2026
At the Grand Hyatt Atlanta in Buckhead
Atlanta, Georgia
Registration will be opening soon, and this year’s conference is shaping up to be one of PDA’s most dynamic yet.
Why Leaders Prioritize PRISM
PRISM is built specifically for leaders navigating the realities of private company governance. It’s not theory for theory’s sake—it’s practical, boardroom-focused education designed to help directors and executives make better decisions, strengthen oversight, and lead with greater confidence.
Attendees come to PRISM for:
- Timely conversations on the governance issues shaping private companies today
- Practical strategies and actionable insights they can apply immediately
- Candid peer exchange with experienced board leaders and governance professionals
- Opportunities to expand trusted relationships across industries and markets
- Fresh perspectives on risk, growth, succession, strategy, and board effectiveness
The value of PRISM extends well beyond the sessions themselves. It’s where the PDA community comes together to share experience, challenge thinking, and elevate governance leadership.
What to Expect in Atlanta
PRISM 2026 will feature:
- Expert-led keynote and breakout sessions
- Interactive discussions focused on real-world governance challenges
- Networking experiences designed to foster meaningful connection
- Insight from directors, operators, advisors, and governance experts
- A collaborative environment centered on practical board leadership
And with Atlanta as the backdrop, attendees can expect an energetic setting that reflects the forward-looking spirit of the conference itself.
