Third-party risk management doesn’t end at the due diligence process. Risks change over time, and best-in-class programs now treat risk management as a continuous, cyclical process that spans the entire relationship with the third party. In this session, hear from panelists on how they create triggers to initiate reviews, integrate cross- functional monitoring, and use automation and workflows to scan for new risks and red flags.
Ready to peek behind the curtain of a major corporate transformation? Verizon, a global leader in connectivity, recognized that massive growth had created a sprawling, fragmented compliance landscape—one with too many disconnected hands in the investigations pot. Join us for a candid, up-close look at the swift, strategic initiative to centralize and revolutionize the Investigations program that took place between mid-2024 and continues through today.
We’ll walk you through the dynamic phases of our transformation: from consolidating disparate teams into one powerful, consistent unit, to diplomatically reforging partnerships across the company, to self-reflection and re-prioritizing using a brand-new impact scale and centralized reporting. Finally, discover how we’re working to retrain and standardize for ultimate consistency, and how we are revolutionizing the way we do investigations with AI and cutting-edge technology!
Get ready for an intelligent, engaging story about how Legal and Compliance were ahead of the curve and tackled complexity head-on to build a faster, more effective organization.
Hypergrowth companies face a unique compliance paradox: the faster they scale, the harder it becomes to build ethical infrastructure that keeps pace. This peer conversation brings together compliance leaders navigating program transformation, whether inheriting legacy programs, building from scratch, or repositioning compliance as a business enabler.
ServiceNow’s Bill Burtis, SVP, Legal, Chief Ethics & Compliance Officer, will guide structured dialogue around key transformation challenges: establishing credibility before you have wins, building team identity before strategy execution, communicating with boards when assessments reveal gaps, and measuring outcomes rather than activities. Participants will share what worked, what required adjustment, and how they balanced speed with sustainable ethical infrastructure. The goal is practical peer learning: participants leave with insights they can apply immediately.

Most advice on training and communications assumes you are trying to reach employees who are sitting at a desk, but don’t forget about the ones that work outside of the standard office setting. In this session, we focus on these employees in particular. Hear how panelists are engaging and communicating with them, how you can build a strong culture for non-office work environments, and training approaches for employees that aren’t tied to a desk.

In this session, join Mitratech’s Laura Jacobus and Nicola Barker as they explore how to move beyond “check-the-box” governance and build a practical, scalable AI governance operating model that supports innovation while maintaining accountability, transparency, and ethical oversight. We’ll cover designing governance as a continuous process, applying governance controls proportionate to AI capability and risk, working through a real-world scenario, building a clear AI governance RACI, and identifying immediate next steps.
Board time is scarce, attention is limited, and trust earned over years may be lost in moments. In this session, led by Grainger’s Nic Eichenseer, Vice President, Associate General Counsel & CECO, we’ll ground the CECO’s board engagement strategy in first principles: the board’s role in ethics and compliance and how CECOs can enable effective oversight. We’ll then focus on how to use board time intentionally—through sharper materials, smarter metrics, and more compelling narratives—to build trust and credibility, educate directors about the business, and ensure ethics and compliance discussions are impactful rather than box-checking exercises.
Strong programs don’t start polished—they start purposeful. This session traces the journey of a Champions network from its early, passion-driven beginnings through the introduction of OKRs, significant attrition, and a deliberate rebuild. Premera’s Rose Riojas and Sven Peterson will share how values-based messaging, storytelling, mentorship, and structured onboarding transformed the program into a sustainable leadership platform aligned with enterprise strategy. Participants will leave with practical tactics for recruiting, supporting, and scaling internal advocates while building credibility with senior leadership.
Conflict of interest disclosures often contain valuable risk signals but uncovering them at scale can be time consuming. This session demonstrates how AI can streamline COI review by analyzing patterns, surfacing anomalies, and supporting clearer, data-driven decisions. We’ll discuss real-world use cases, governance considerations, and practical steps for implementing AI in a way that enhances both compliance effectiveness and employee experience.
