Digital Compliance 2026
Program
The compliance professional is no longer just a compliance watchdog, but a strategic advisor who is involved in the process of turning change into a competitive advantage for the company.
The compliance profession is all about ensuring that a company's operations are in line with legislation, internal policies and ethical standards. But it is not just a control, it is a proactive risk management and strategic support aimed at supporting corporate competitiveness beyond the mere minimisation of legal, financial and reputational risks.
The market is hungry for best practices and use cases, as they are the best way to understand the risks and opportunities. Have we ever considered whether we are not giving away competitively sensitive information when we present best practices or use cases?
What is the real benefit of compliance in terms of data asset utilisation? Corporate data assets are a source of change, as data not only records the past, but also generates new opportunities and decisions.
The basic principles of data governance include establishing the rules, processes, roles and technologies to ensure that compliance with external and internal legal and regulatory requirements can be monitored and audited, in addition to data quality, access and encryption.
The relationship between data assets and compliance is complex - the implementation of basic requirements is complicated by the evolution of technology and the pace of change in data. However, data asset analysis also supports compliance by helping to identify risks, anticipate problems and comply with regulations.
The main barriers to widespread adoption of AI are a lack of trust and an inadequate governance framework, which leaves many companies in a state of "prototype purgatory". This presentation will show why and how governance can be a strategic competitive advantage instead of a bureaucratic burden, enabling companies to "move faster" and implement ambitious AI projects.
Corporate data assets are a fundamental source of change and AI systems, as the basic context is simple: 'Bad Quality Data = Bad Quality AI'. This presentation will demonstrate the key to achieving ROI (return on investment) in moving companies from copilot solutions that only incrementally improve existing workflows to AI agents that fundamentally transform workflows. In turn, the existence of high-quality, curated and integrated data, overcoming siloed data problems, is essential to the effectiveness of these agents.
Corporate data assets are now at the heart of the trust economy: the quality of data determines operations, regulatory compliance and the reliability of AI systems. In a rapidly changing world of privacy, AI, IP and sectoral regulations, it is increasingly clear: without governance, compliance is just a reaction. This panel will show how real business value can be created when data assets are built not just as a technology, but as an auditable, transparent and responsibly managed resource. The role of access management, audit logs, decision trails and systems-level thinking will be discussed - and why only well-governed data can reduce risk and support AI solutions and sustainable innovation.
The panel will discuss how data can be used to drive AI solutions and sustainable innovation.
Artificial intelligence has created new markets and, in some sectors, completely transformed the business model. Personalised offers are common practice in e-commerce, and in marketing and advertising, campaign optimisation is no longer possible without AI tools. In healthcare, AI is also essential for drug development and faster diagnoses. Predictive maintenance helps optimise the supply chain in manufacturing and logistics, and HR would also outsource countless automation functions to AI agents. And the compliance profession is also increasingly turning to AI tools. These are just a few examples where, alongside and behind the opportunities, we can immediately sense new compliance challenges.
One of the biggest challenges for corporate compliance is the constant, rapid change in the legal and regulatory environment, with more than 1,300 major and minor changes every month in 2025, which illustrates the dynamic environment in which companies must operate.
Interpreting the new requirements is a major task in itself, but the amended rules bring additional complexity. It is not only the primary legislation that is changing, but in all cases the expected evolution of case law must be taken into account. The flood of information - commentaries, reference books, legal blogs, even short video content - helps and hinders adaptation. What ComplianceTech tools can be used to make everyday compliance more liveable?
An extraordinary meeting of business, technology and law
Compliance Adventures takes professional networking to a new level. Recognising that we can only navigate the compliance sea by navigating it together, direct cross-disciplinary dialogue is now a traditional feature of the event.
The aim of the initiative has remained unchanged since its inception, to provide a port of call where professionals from a wide range of backgrounds can meet and discuss their adventures. Taking advantage of the environment offered by the Peace Hotel, we will create a relaxed atmosphere for the closing event, where the "compliance adventurers" can meet and discuss their experiences and questions over a few tasty snacks.
