AI Governance Playbook: What Leading Companies Are Getting Right

Trust in the AI Age
About the session

Everyone is writing an AI governance policy. Far fewer have one that actually works. Two practitioners who've built AI governance programs from scratch share the five decisions that made the biggest difference: what they'd do again, what they'd skip, and where they got it wrong the first time. Bring your questions; most of the session is yours.

The 100 Smartest People in GRC Walk Into a Room

The GRC Collective
About the session

The best insight at any conference usually happens in the hallway, not on stage. This session moves it into the room. A moderator-guided discussion turns the audience into the panel, surfacing how peers are actually solving the problems everyone is quietly wrestling with. Come with a question you haven't been able to answer — you'll likely leave with three ways others have solved it.

Debate: AI Governance vs Governance with AI - Which One Are You Solving First?

Trust in the AI Age
About the session

Should you govern the AI your company is adopting, or use AI to fix the governance program you already have? Most teams are trying to do both and making slow progress on each. Two sharp voices take opposing sides on this chicken-and-egg problem, arguing for where a resource-constrained team should actually place its bets. Expect strong opinions and a clear takeaways

Mythos, Vulnerabilities Discovery, and the Future of AI Risk

Trust in the AI Age
About the session

AI risk conversations tend to swing between hype and hand-waving. This fireside chat cuts through both, with practitioners discussing where AI risk is genuinely heading — from novel vulnerability discovery to failure modes that don't map to any existing control framework. The focus is practical: what GRC teams should start building now to stay ahead of risks that haven't fully arrived yet.

Risk Without a Roadmap

The GRC Collective
About the session

Some of the biggest risks facing your company don't have a framework, a control mapping, or a precedent to point to. Seasoned risk practitioners share how they make defensible decisions in that gap — how they scope the unknown, document their reasoning, and hold the line when leadership pushes back. Short, practical playbooks followed by open Q&A.

Why Trust Is the New Moat

Trust in the AI Age
About the session

In a market where every company claims to be AI-powered, product differentiation gets copied in a quarter. Trust doesn't. This session makes the case that the companies winning enterprise deals aren't the ones with the best models — they're the ones whose customers believe them. A practitioner walks through how to build trust as a durable competitive advantage rather than a cost center.
