About this collection

The Conference Board was founded in 1916 by eleven major trade associations in the United States as the National Industrial Conference Board. It became The Conference Board in 1970.

The Conference Board organizes conferences and events which center around three major topics: Corporate Leadership, Economy and Business Environment, and Human Capital. The conference speakers are leading business and subject experts and seek to discuss emerging trends, challenges, and solutions. Additionally, as part of its ongoing function as a lobbying group and publicist for American business, it produces research reports on economic and social issues facing the United States.

The Conference Board audio recordings (Accession 1986.231) primarily contains audio recordings and accompanying materials on paper documenting conferences, meetings, workshops, and forums hosted or attended by the Conference Board.
