It’s clear: regulatory oversight has never been more complex, and as a result, public expectations about transparency, corporate culture and business behavior remain part of everyday conversation.
In an effort to redefine the profession and promote the best practices of integrity and business behavior around the globe, the Ethisphere’s 8th Annual Global Ethics Summit, Mar. 9-10, in New York City, will focus on transparency and ethics.
The event will provide corporate executives and compliance practitioners with the unique opportunity to listen, learn and connect with C-suite leaders across industries and geographies with one goal in mind: advancing corporate integrity.
“The thing that’s unique about the Global Ethics Summit is you get a mix of the nuts and bolts from the panels,” said James Williams, Vice President, General Counsel, and Corporate Secretary of Liquidity Services. “You also get the big picture from CEOs, private equity leaders and business leaders telling us what they need from our legal departments. So I can take all of that, synthesize it and say, ‘here’s the big picture and here is how it translates into what I need to do on a daily basis’—and, I think that is unique amongst the conferences.”
This year, about 74 percent of attendees registered represent companies that have more than 10,000 employees, while 56 percent consists of C-level Executives and Directors.
Key speakers include:
- Alex Dimitrief, General Counsel and Senior Vice President, General Electric
- Melissa Stapleton Barnes, Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer, Sr. Vice President, Enterprise Risk Management, Eli Lilly and Company
- Samuel A. Di Piazza Jr., Board Member, JLL and AT&T
- David Howard, Corporate VP and Deputy General Counsel, Microsoft Corporation
- Networking lunch featuring Brad Katsuyama, President & Chief Executive Officer, IEX Group (focus of Michael Lewis’ book ‘Flash Boys’)
“While the faculty at Ethisphere’s Global Ethics Summit is always impressive, this year is the best I’ve seen,” said Erica Salmon Byrne, Executive Director of the Business Ethics Leadership Alliance (BELA), a membership community of companies who share leading practices across a global network. “The attendees are some of the most senior compliance and ethics professionals in the industry, so the quality of the dialogue is sure to be tremendous.”
Moreover, as Ethisphere celebrates its 10th anniversary in promoting best practices in business ethics, attendees will have the chance to share information about their own programs and join the conversations, which will be led by reputable multinational corporations around hotly debated topics such as:
- Ethical Advantage and Performance
- Global Strategy and Brand Stewardship
- Gender Diversity
- Cross-Border Investigations and Government Cooperation
- Investors: Looking Beyond Profit and Toward CSR
- Cyber Attacks, Compliance and Reputation
- Company Culture
- Pay-Gap: Company Responsibility
At this year’s Global Ethics Summit, expect to meet executives and ethics and compliance leaders from a variety of industries including: Government and Regulatory, Aerospace, Healthcare, Finance, Engineering, Technology, Manufacturing and many more.
