Pre-conference Day: Summits & Workshops - GMT (Greenwich Mean Time, GMTZ)
Harmonization initiatives like AMLA and deregulation packages like the EU’s Omnibus on digital, sustainability or investment simplification are reshaping the regulatory and supervisory landscape. Financial institutions are facing increasing accountability across key areas, including financial crime, cyber risk, and the rapid expansion of private credit. At the same time, advances in AI are equipping CROs and CCOs with more predictive, scalable, and cost-efficient tools to manage these emerging risks. This panel discussion explores how leaders at leading institutions need to rethink their risk management and compliance approach, shifting toward AI-enabled, forward-looking models that strengthen controls while keeping pace with regulatory change and market evolution.
