The Fourth Saudi Corporate Governance Conference<\/strong>, organized by the Corporate Governance Center at Alfaisal University<\/strong>, concluded with strong participation and international engagement, further strengthening its position as a leading platform for corporate governance dialogue in Saudi Arabia and the wider region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held over two full days, the conference brought together 69 speakers<\/strong> from academia and professional practice under the theme of promoting good governance that serves productivity, people, and the planet<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The conference attracted 388 registrations<\/strong>, with 315 participants<\/strong> attending from across Saudi Arabia, the Gulf region, Malaysia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Academic participation was equally strong. The conference received more than 100 research submissions<\/strong>, with 45 papers<\/strong> selected for presentation. Two parallel tracks ran throughout both days, combining professional and applied discussions with in-depth academic sessions on governance research and practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A major outcome of the conference was the creation of a pathway for continued research collaboration and publication. Participants were given the opportunity to contribute to a special issue of the Journal of Institutional Economics, published by Cambridge University Press<\/strong>, with a dedicated editorial meeting held during the conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conference also featured the Corporate Governance Awards Ceremony<\/strong>, recognizing nearly 40 Saudi listed companies<\/strong>. The CG Excellence Award<\/strong> honored companies achieving the highest scores in Alfaisal University\u2019s annual corporate governance assessment, while the CG Enhancement Award<\/strong> recognized companies demonstrating the greatest improvement over the previous two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The event also created valuable opportunities for students. A large number of Alfaisal University MBA students attended the conference, and four presentations were delivered by MBA students<\/strong>, providing them with direct exposure to high-level academic and professional discussions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

With strong participation, high-quality research, active engagement between academia and practice, and concrete opportunities for future publication and collaboration, the\u00a0Fourth Saudi Corporate Governance Conference<\/strong>\u00a0marked another important milestone in advancing governance research and practice in the Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The conference further reinforced Alfaisal University\u2019s role as a hub for high-quality governance dialogue and established a strong foundation for future partnerships, research initiatives, and professional engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
