BELA In-Person Roundtable: London Bridge

One Program, Many Rulebooks: Compliance When Markets No Longer Agree
A BELA roundtable hosted by News Corp, with Dow Jones
Tuesday, 10 November 2026 | 14:30–17:00 GMT, followed by a drinks reception
Limited to 30 ethics and compliance leaders

For two decades, compliance programs were built on a reasonable assumption: write one global standard, apply it everywhere, and treat local variation as the exception. That assumption is under pressure. Data rules, supply chain obligations, AI governance, sanctions, and disclosure requirements are diverging market by market, faster than most programs can absorb. The conflicts are no longer edge cases, and meeting an obligation in one jurisdiction increasingly means falling short in another.

This roundtable brings together a small group of ethics and compliance leaders to look at what’s coming and to work through the harder question underneath it. When the rulebooks stop agreeing, how do you decide which one to serve first, what you’re prepared to let go, and how you explain that choice to your board?
