New edition out now! Director Summer 2026.

Institute of Director’s leading director development course lands in Hong Kong

Institute of Directors (IoD), supported by with the UK Department for Business and Trade (DBT) and partners with the British Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong.

This September, the IoD’s flagship course – the International Role of the Director and the Board – comes to Hong Kong, offering high-impact training to sharpen board-level skills in a China-focused context.

Following on from the success of its director development programmes in Beijing and Shanghai since 2023, the IoD is expanding its presence in the region. For the first time, the course will be delivered in Hong Kong, providing an opportunity for local and international directors to expand their knowledge in a regional context.

Led by expert UK faculty, the course covers the key responsibilities of directors, strategies to improve board effectiveness and navigating legal liabilities in the UK, China, and other major jurisdictions.

Dr. Mike Hofmann shared his experience from the Beijing delivery of the programme:

“Having worked with boards and currently sitting on two boards in China, I wanted to enhance my knowledge of best practices of the board’s role in corporate governance and risk management. The course struck the right balance between a board member’s duties and legal responsibilities and the practical day-to-day application in China.”

The International Role of the Director and the Board takes place on 15-16 September 2025 at the British Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong.
