Event essentials

Venue, key dates, visas and logistics for the Autumn 2026 cohort.

Venues

Corinthia London, The IoD & more

Sessions take place at Corinthia London, the Institute of Directors and other venues across central London, including host-institution sessions and site visits. The Institute of Directors, 116 Pall Mall, London SW1Y 5ED, provides the programme's private governance workspace.

Executive sessions run 09:00–17:00 on core strategy days and 09:00–13:00 on days with afternoon Executive Office availability. The weekend of 17–18 October is the delegate's own time.

Logistics

Before you travel

  • Visa support

    UK entry clearance

    Official visa support documentation, including a personalised invitation letter, is issued immediately on confirmation. UK Standard Visitor processing commonly takes three weeks or more, before biometric appointment lead times. Start immediately on mandate confirmation — AOA cannot influence visa processing timeframes.

  • Accommodation

    Programme hotel

    Accommodation is arranged by the delegate or fund. Where procurement rules make a single purchase order simpler, AOA can arrange accommodation at the programme hotel and invoice it as a separate line.

  • Transport

    Getting around London

    Local programme transport between venues is included in the fee. International travel is arranged by the delegate or fund.

Delegate confirmations, visas and accommodation are handled by the AOA team.
