In an era of constant regulatory change, resource constraints, and digital disruption, compliance and legal leaders are navigating unprecedented complexity. This panel session offers a candid, off-the-record environment for senior industry practitioners to exchange real-world experiences, benchmark approaches, and discuss what’s truly shaping their day-to-day priorities. Participants will explore the latest challenges, emerging risks, and innovative solutions driving transformation across compliance, ethics, and legal operations. From managing AI integration and ESG expectations to tackling third-party risks and data governance, this is a chance to share what’s working- and what isn’t- in an open, peer-to-peer dialogue.

Designed for senior decision-makers, the session combines practical benchmarking, lessons learned, and intimate networking to inspire actionable insights that participants can take back to their organizations.

Cyber incidents are no longer isolated technical disruptions— they pose significant operational, financial, reputational, and regulatory risks to organizations across industries.
With threats growing in frequency and sophistication, effective crisis management has become a critical leadership
priority. 

This session will examine the real-world challenges organizations face in responding to cyberattacks, from the immediate pressure of incident containment to longterm
recovery, stakeholder communication, and regulatory compliance.

As global supply chains become more digitized, compliance leaders face mounting pressure to ensure both ethical integrity and regulatory alignment. From forced labor due
diligence to digital trade data-sharing rules, organizations must rethink how they source, verify, and move goods across increasingly complex networks.

This high-level panel brings together experts in trade compliance, sustainability, and digital governance to explore how companies are balancing responsible sourcing, ESG mandates, and new regulatory expectations under frameworks like the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), the Digital Trade Act, and global transparency initiatives.

As budgets tighten and expectations grow, compliance leaders are under pressure to achieve more with less. Artificial intelligence promises efficiency, speed, and sharper risk
detection - but what’s real, what’s hype, and how do you know if it’s worth the investment?

In this candid session. Senior decision markets will share how they’re assessing the true return on AI, from pilot projects to enterprise-scale rollouts. Learn what’s working, what’s not, and how to strike the right balance between innovation and prudence when integrating AI into your compliance ecosystem.

Secondary sanctions, tightening export controls, and shifting tariff regimes are reshaping global trade and compliance strategies. For companies operating across multiple jurisdictions, these measures create complex risks—from supply chain disruptions and market access restrictions to heightened regulatory scrutiny. This panel will explore the evolving role of secondary sanctions, how export control measures intersect with global supply chains, and the strategic challenges businesses face in balancing compliance with growth in a fragmented trade environment.

As sanctions regimes grow more complex and enforcement expectations increase, organisations are reassessing how effectively their screening frameworks reflect real-world exposure. This presentation explores how emerging technologies are being applied to sanctions screening to address industry-specific risks, operational challenges, and evolving regulatory demands. Attendees will gain insight into how organisations are adapting
screening approaches to improve accuracy, speed, and decisionmaking across different sectors.
