In addition to sessions and workshops targeted at the "traditional" SharePoint conference audience (developers, admins, end users, etc.), the inaugural instance of SharePoint Saturday: The Conference (SPSTC) will offer a track geared for "C" level executives.
Comprised of 15 confirmed sessions, the Executive track at SPSTC will feature:
-
3 Key Components to Leverage SharePoint As An Enterprise Innovation Platform (Speaker: Mike Taylor)

Abstracts are available for most of the sessions at the Executive Sessions page, as well as links to speaker bios (and it's worth noting that there are C-level executives among the speakers).
There are currently a whopping 235 sessions and workshops scheduled to take place over the course of the three-day SPSTC event, so even if the Executive track isn't for you, odds are very strong that there's a track (or three) that will be of interest to you.
