BELA In-Person Roundtable: Washington, D.C., hosted by Baker McKenzie

Join your peers in Washington, D.C. for an in-person BELA Roundtable, hosted by our friends and global partners at Baker McKenzie.

In 2026, compliance teams face increasing complexity driven by new AI, data privacy, and global enforcement trends. With regulators demanding greater transparency and accountability, organizations must rethink how they manage risk. Led by the BELA Community and Baker McKenzie, this roundtable offers a space to share perspectives, ask questions, and leave with practical insights to strengthen your team’s work already underway.

Our topics will include:

“Doing More With Less”
Led by Mike Kraft, Managing Counsel, Business Conduct and Ethics, TriNet, this session will explore how teams are working with current expectations surrounding reduced resources; particularly in managing risks, achieving program goals with less budget, the push for teams to use AI, and more.

“Trust: Hard to Build, Easy to Break — How Organizational Justice and Manager Preparedness Sustain Ethical Culture”
Led by Jodie Fredericksen, VP, Data & Services, Ethisphere, today’s economic and workplace pressures are heightening the risk of misconduct. Grounded in Ethisphere data and client experience, this interactive peer discussion will explore how ethics and compliance professionals can combat this pressure and reinforce trust by addressing employee perceptions of organizational justice and strengthening manager preparedness. During this session we will explore:
• What early warning signs indicate that trust is eroding in an organization, and how can ethics and compliance teams respond?
• What ethics and compliance program practices does Ethisphere find most effectively addresses employee organizational justice concerns and build trust in the reporting, investigation, and discipline process?
• How does manager preparedness shape employee perceptions of ethical culture, and which practices are impactful?
