At the 2026 Global Ethics Summit, Ethisphere is excited to introduce theData Intelligence Lab. This dedicated feature will help attendees explore the information that illustrates where their ethics and compliance program is working, where it can improve, and where it can go next. It’s part of our effort to make this ethics and compliance conference deliver deep, practical, peer-driven content to inform your program decisions.
What it is
The Data Intelligence Lab is a working space (for both in-person attendees in Atlanta and virtual participants) designed to bring Ethisphere’s data, platform, and subject-matter expertise to life in real time. Instead of learning about benchmarking or measurement in a session and hoping you apply it later, this is a place to dig into the data and translate it into next steps while you are at the event.
It will run during four scheduled 90-minute sessions built into programming breaks:
- Monday, March 30 | 10:20–11:50 a.m.
- Monday, March 30 | 2:10–3:40 p.m.
- Tuesday, March 31 | 9:50–11:20 a.m.
- Tuesday, March 31 | 1:40–3:10 p.m.
These longer blocks are structures to give attendees sufficient time for depth, discussion, and practical application.
What you can do there
The Data Intelligence Lab delivers on a simple promise: more clarity, faster.
- Get hands-on support with the Ethics Quotient (EQ) questionnaire, including the “why” behind the questions and how they map to program effectiveness. (The EQ framework includes 240+ questions across core categories, so practical guidance matters.)
- Get a 2026 EQ experience and data readout that highlights themes and emerging trends, including the role of culture and how key metrics connect to real-world outcomes.
- Work directly in The Sphere, Ethisphere’s data and insights platform, to benchmark your program, identify gaps, and prioritize where to focus next.
- Join facilitated meetups and peer exchanges designed to add context to the data, compare approaches, and surface ideas you can take back to your organization.
Why it is worth building into your Summit plan
Most ethics and compliance conferences provide inspiration, but the Global Ethics Summit takes a big step further. It is all about helping attendees develop clearer benchmarks, better language for leadership conversations, and concrete opportunities to strengthen their program. And, all while you are surrounded by people solving the same problems and eager to share what they know and have learned. The Data Intelligence Lab is part of an ongoing effort to make sure this event delivers as much helpful, actionable information to the ethics and compliance community as possible.
If you are already planning to be at the Global Ethics Summit (March 29–31, 2026, Atlanta + online), the Data Intelligence Lab is one of the easiest ways to show that your time at the event was definitely well spent.
