Organizations today face unprecedented pressures: faster business cycles, rising regulatory expectations, and increasingly complex third-party and reputational risks. This session, led by Xapien’s Jessica Denny, explores how to approach the integration of AI into due diligence and compliance processes, helping teams make informed, defensible decisions while maintaining speed and accuracy. Attendees will learn practical frameworks for assessing readiness, gaining buy-in, and moving from one level of maturity to the next—whether you have a homegrown tool, a sophisticated system, or are evaluating AI solutions for the first time.
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.
For many organizations, AI is no longer a future consideration but a daily reality. Yet policies around AI use fall flat without a workforce that understands the basics of AI technologies and risks. This 90-minute session blends expert insights and hands-on collaboration. First, two compliance leaders will outline their approaches to AI literacy training—including baseline requirements, role-specific adaptations, and lessons learned from case studies. Then, participants will engage in a workshop to exchange challenges and explore solutions to equip employees with the knowledge they need to responsibly apply AI in their work.
Discover how automated due diligence tools transform the way organizations assess people and entities. In this workshop, Dow Jones will guide participants through running reports, understanding data sources, and analyzing outputs to support informed decisions. You’ll gain practical experience and best practices for combining automation with critical thinking in today’s fast-paced risk environment.
Compliance and sustainability risks are inevitable—constant firefighting doesn’t have to be. In this interactive, case-based workshop, participants will work through a realistic compliance and sustainability crisis affecting a global subsidiary. Attendees will join Ethisphere experts Craig Moss, EVP of Measurement, and Eric Jorgenson and Emily Miner, Directors in Data & Services, to break into role-based teams to assess the situation and put out the fire to minimize damage to business continuity and reputation. Then the groups will apply residual risk calculations to prioritize next steps over the following 6–12 months to prevent future crises. The session will also explore how Generative AI can leverage residual risk data to help scale compliance and sustainability risk management across complex organizations.
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.
