NED Exchange – Summer Networking Event 2026

Date: Monday 15 June 2026
Time: 18.00-21.00
Location: Stationers’ Hall, Ave Maria Lane, London EC4M 7DD 

Helene Usherwood is delighted to be hosting AQ’s NED Exchange Summer networking event 2026 – an informal evening bringing together Non-Executives, Chairs, Trustees, Governors, and aspiring Non-Executives from a wide range of organisations and industries around the UK.

We hope that the British weather will hold so that we are able to enjoy an evening of networking in the beautiful courtyard at Stationers’ Hall, as well as admire the stunning Grade I listed Court Room, where we will also host a short panel discussion exploring how the idea of Next Generation Boards translates into practice: from attracting and selecting talent across generations, to ensuring boards function effectively once those voices are in the room.

The panel will be announced in due course, however we are very excited to be joined by two best-selling authors who have co-written the definitive playbook for empowering intergenerational collaboration, innovation and productivity at work. At a time in history where we have up to five generations at work, the book unpacks six years of research, and explores how to maximise the dynamics of our generational diversity to create more collaborative and competitive organisations. It speaks directly to a challenge we’re increasingly seeing: how to build boards that are not only diverse on paper, but genuinely effective across generations, able to harness different perspectives, experiences, and ways of thinking.
