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.

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.

In today’s volatile geopolitical environment, sanctions regulations are evolving at unprecedented speed, leaving organizations under constant pressure to adapt. With the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), the UK’s Office of Financial Sanctions
Implementation (OFSI), and the European Commission taking increasingly assertive stances, companies face heightened enforcement risks, overlapping obligations, and complex compliance challenges. This session provides an essential update on the latest regulatory developments and enforcement actions from the U.S., UK, and EU. Attendees will gain practical insights into managing compliance programs, mitigating enforcement risk, and ensuring operational continuity across jurisdictions.
