Yes. All Workshops and Masterclasses sit within the overarching NCGS 2026 theme: "Resilience in a Hothouse World" However, we intentionally provide session hosts with significant flexibility to curate topics that best reflect their expertise, priorities, and practical experiences.The Masterclass tracks are currently organised around three broad themes:Day 3 (5 August 2026): Reporting & DisclosureDay 4 (6 August 2026): Nature & BiodiversityDay 5 (7 August 2026): Climate ResilienceThe Workshops are organised under a broader Professions & Industries track and are intended to showcase practical implementation experiences, lessons learned, sector-specific insights, and real-world case studies. We encourage organisations to propose topics that align with both their expertise and the overall NCGS theme.

Sessions are primarily conducted in person at Sasana Kijang, Kuala Lumpur. We strongly encourage speakers to attend physically to maximise engagement and networking opportunities.

The audience for NCGS is predominantly made up of decision-makers, governance professionals, and sustainability practitioners from both the public and private sectors. Based on NCGS 2025 participant data, approximately one-third of attendees were Board Members, Directors, C-suite executives, and Senior Management. We also welcomed a significant number of Company Secretaries, ESG and compliance professionals, consultants, investors, regulators, policymakers, and sustainability practitioners.
