On 14 October 2019 we organise the 6th edition of the Yearly Day of the Listed Companies together with FEB, in partnership with EY and supported by Euronext and the Corporate Governance Committee.

Six months after the entry into force of the 2020 Code and the Companies and Associations Code, we will look at the questions that arise from its implementation: Who are the early adopters within the listed companies? Which changes have they made to their corporate governance arrangements? What problems did they encounter? Which are the dispositions in the 2020 Code that are not clear and cause uncertainties? Confirmed speakers are: Philippe Lambrecht, Thomas Leysen, Sandra Gobert, Jean-Paul Servais, Vincent Van Dessel.
