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.
Hear from former SEC FCPA Unit Chief Charles Cain and Digital Compliance leader Kyler Capenigro as they discuss the questions regulators actually ask, the weaknesses they commonly see, and how technology-enabled monitoring can provide defensible evidence of program effectiveness.
DOJ guidance increasingly emphasizes proactive, risk-based monitoring as a core element of effective compliance programs—but how are companies putting this into practice? This facilitated discussion brings compliance leaders together to share how they are approaching real-time monitoring across both communications and transactional data. Topics will include how programs get started, stakeholder buy-in, transparency with employees, managing findings, and where monitoring strategies are headed next. Participants will leave with peer-tested insights and practical advice for strengthening their own monitoring capabilities.
Strengthen and invigorate your organization’s approach to ethical leadership with an interactive deep dive into lessons from game-based learning, ethical skill-building (beyond compliance), and AI. In this session, the team behind the award-winning game Quandary will demonstrate how research-backed game mechanics and AI chatbot learning tools can build durable “ethical muscle memory.” With a particular focus on the game’s recent innovations in AI ethics, Shelly London (former senior corporate executive, long-time NYU Stern adjunct professor, and Quandary founder) and Scot Osterweil (MIT Education Arcade, Learning Games Network) will lead a conversation on equipping employees with the skills to navigate high-stakes challenges that have no one “right” answer. Attendees will leave with a thoroughly research-backed framework for using serious play to drive employee engagement, mitigate risk, and foster ethical decision-making skills up and down the corporate ladder. Additionally, participants will gain exclusive early access to explore Quandary’s new ethics learning tools.

This discussion, led by Baker McKenzie Partner Terry Gilroy and Of Counsel Lise Test, will explore key compliance and enforcement risk areas in the current U.S. regulatory environment. Topics will include the use of the False Claims Act as a federal enforcement mechanism, developments in tariff evasion investigations, and increased scrutiny related to potential connections with cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), along with other emerging enforcement and regulatory priorities relevant to corporate compliance leaders.
Legal and compliance crises — including regulatory inquiries, dawn raids, public whistleblowers and trade/sanctions exposure — rarely announce themselves. The speed, clarity, and coordination of your response will define not only how effectively you navigate the immediate challenge, but the nature and extent of liability or other damage long after the event has passed.
In this session, we’ll share practical, experience driven guidance to help you prepare for the unexpected and respond effectively to crises. Together we’ll consider the following questions, among others: What are the crises with the most significant legal/ethical implications threatening companies today? What are the most important practical steps companies should be taking today to prevent and prepare for the unanticipated? What are common pitfalls to avoid in the critical early hours of a crisis—when thoughtful action can dramatically reduce legal and reputational risk?
Join us to explore how preparation today can safeguard your company tomorrow.
