Ethisphere’s culture data consistently shows that the number one reasons employees choose not to report misconduct is a fear of retaliation. This fear is amplified when high-profile cases of corporate wrongdoing are ignored, or when those who speak up against authority figures face public criticism, creating a chilling effect on speak-up culture. In this session, learn how you can build and enhance your speak-up culture by addressing retaliation head-on, including empowering employees, the role of managers, and protecting whistleblowers.
Ethics and compliance touch every corner of an organization, from safety on the factory floor to shaping the mergers and acquisitions process. But with such a broad scope, even the most dedicated teams can feel stretched thin. Cross-functional committees bring together diverse voices to share the load, strengthen programs, and embed values across the entire organization. In this session, panelists discuss who to include, how to collaborate, and ways to drive lasting impact.
Join Southwire’s Director of Ethics & Compliance, Shaun Miller, to hear about Southwire’s Ethical Moments program. Ethical Moments are concise, manager led discussions that use real investigations, storytelling, and interactive scenarios to strengthen ethical decision making while identifying and highlighting role specific risks. This simple, relatable, and repeatable model delivers meaningful cultural impact while driving strong engagement from both managers and employees.
Gather in small groups and Ethisphere will walk you through facilitated networking conversations that build on the data presentation given by our data experts. 
Andrew Jacobs, Chief Compliance Officer of Avangrid Networks, recently published a paper entitled, “Why Compliance Training Fails” and in it he outlines the major pitfalls that compliance programs are facing with their training. In our conversation he laid out the groundwork for his paper, shares guidance for practitioners as they work to make their compliance training more effective, gives a look into some of the current research, talks about how to create a “cultural norm” within your organization, and shares encouragement for compliance professionals. 
This session, led by Lilian Lustre, will highlight how Sanofi is using data and AI to modernize compliance oversight, with a special focus on our SAP Concur AI–driven expense monitoring solution. Through the Assurance Function Analytics (AFA) data lake, we integrate enterprise systems to detect risks at scale and enable real time insights. A flagship example is the automation of travel and expense approvals, where AI now reviews 70% of transactions, reducing payment time from 7 to 2 days and cutting auditor workload by nearly 70%, while significantly improving fraud detection and identifying recurring behavioral patterns. These advances illustrate how data science and responsible AI are reshaping assurance functions—making monitoring more efficient, targeted, and proactive, and reinforcing our global commitment to integrity.

This hands-on AI session is built for Ethics & Compliance leaders who want to see what AI can actually do today. Join Roxanne Petraeus (CEO, Ethena) for a guided walkthrough and live demos of several of the most common AI tools that will help you discover practical use cases for AI in training and comms.

From turning policies into podcasts to generating videos from prompts, automating translations, and customizing tone, Roxanne will show you what’s possible right now and help you create actual outputs you can bring back to your program. See how today’s best tools can modernize training, communications, and analytics, and where AI still falls short, so you can focus on what really works.

This 90-minute session is designed for hands-on participation, so bring your laptop and also your curiosity. You’ll leave with an AI-built artifact (a video, podcast, or course outline) and the confidence to take your first (or next) step with AI in compliance.
