Not everyone can make it to Atlanta. But that does not mean missing the substance of Global Ethics Summit.
The virtual experience offers a practical way to participate in the Summit’s most useful conversations, especially for leaders balancing full schedules, travel constraints, or both. Attendees can join live sessions, engage in discussion through the platform, connect with peers, and return to select content on demand. The result is a format that offers flexibility without losing the value of shared learning.
That carries special weight this year because several agenda highlights feature Ethisphere’s own experts. Their work sits close to the questions many ethics and compliance leaders are trying to answer now: how to assess culture more clearly, measure program effectiveness more meaningfully, and make smarter decisions about risk.
A session built around applied judgment
One of the clearest examples is From Firefighting to Foresight: A Hands-On Compliance & Sustainability Risk Workshop.
This session moves beyond theory and into application. Participants will work through a realistic crisis affecting a global subsidiary, alongside Craig Moss, Eric Jorgenson, and Emily Miner. The format is interactive and case-based, with attendees breaking into role-based teams to assess the situation, manage immediate response, and think through what comes next.
What makes the session especially relevant is its second half. After the initial crisis response, participants will apply residual risk calculations to help prioritize next steps over the following six to twelve months. The workshop also considers how Generative AI can support that work at scale across complex organizations. It is a grounded session, and likely a useful one for teams trying to shift from reactive problem-solving to more durable risk management.
Data, context, and direct access to experts
For virtual attendees looking for interactive sessions, the Ethisphere Data Intelligence Labs offers an opportunity for presentation, questions, peer discussion, and time in the virtual lounge environment built around the Labs.
Among the featured sessions, Ethisphere Data Intelligence Lab: Data Presentation on Organizational Justice & the Influence of Managers stands out for its subject matter alone. With Curtis Leicht, Jodie Fredericksen, and Erica Salmon Byrne, the session focuses on the reasoning behind key assessment questions and shares early insights from the 2026 World’s Most Ethical Companies data.
Ethisphere Data Intelligence Lab: Virtual Data Presentation & Peer Meetup extends that discussion in a format built specifically for online participation. Led by Curtis Leicht, Emily Miner, and Erica Salmon Byrne, it combines the presentation with facilitated networking, benchmarking, and Q&A.
For current Ethisphere clients, Ethisphere Data Intelligence Lab: Get Your Data offers a more hands-on opportunity. Featuring Divine Mbabazi, Nick Lockwood, Tasha Ciufi, and Jess Richey, the session helps attendees work with the Ethics Quotient and make best use of data in the Sphere.
A flexible way to stay in the conversation
The Summit’s virtual platform gives participants ways to engage with other attendees, comment on live sessions, share insights, and continue conversations across the event. That social layer matters. It helps make the virtual experience feel participatory rather than observational.
For anyone unable to travel, that combination of access, flexibility, and practical content makes virtual attendance a credible option, not a fallback. You may be joining remotely, but you are still part of the exchange of ideas, questions, and experience that gives Global Ethics Summit its value.
At the conclusion of the Global Ethics Summit, virtual attendees may request a Certificate of Completion by visiting the “Resource Center” in the event platform. This certificate serves as official confirmation of your participation and may be used for self-reporting, continuing education tracking, or professional records.
The 2026 Global Ethics Summit has been approved by the Compliance Certification Board (CCB)® for up to 15.2 Live CCB CEUs, 13.8 Live Virtual CCB CEUs, and 22.8 Non-Live CCB CEUs, based on a 50-minute hour, each. (Continuing Education Units are awarded based on attendance records. Granting of prior approval in no way constitutes endorsement by CCB of this event content or of the event sponsor.)
For virtual attendees, the event platform will log which sessions you attended for you.
After the Summit ends, head to the virtual platform to watch replays of sessions you missed that are available on demand. Once you finish your watch list, go to the Certification tab on the event platform to request your certificate.
