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.

Sanctions regimes, export controls, and service prohibitions are evolving at speed - often faster than corporate governance frameworks can adapt. For Swiss and international businesses operating across holding structures, trading platforms, and complex supply chains, exposure can arise unexpectedly through subsidiaries, counterparties, or indirect ownership links. What appears compliant today can become a reputational and regulatory risk overnight.

This session brings together audit, legal, and compliance leaders to explore how organisations are identifying hidden sanctions exposure, strengthening onboarding and counterparty due diligence, and redesigning controls to address sudden regulatory shifts. With a practical, Swiss-focused lens, the discussion will examine how boards and compliance teams can move beyond traditional fraud controls to manage dynamic enforcement risk in an increasingly unpredictable environment.

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.
