More Than a Conference. A Conversation.
What does ethics look like in the real world? How are today’s leaders reimagining compliance in a landscape defined by constant change? And what does it take to make responsible decisions when the stakes are high?
EQS Connect Zurich is where leading minds in compliance, legal and governance come together to discuss precisely that. This half-day event brings together professionals who shape integrity within their organizations — offering space for focused dialogue, inspiring keynotes and practical strategies to lead with confidence in a fast-changing world.
On 23 October 2025, we warmly invite you to Zurich for an afternoon of exchange, insight and collaboration. Beyond inspiring sessions, there will be plenty of room for informal networking with peers who, like you, are shaping the future of compliance and ethics.
EQS Connect is for all those who build trust — whether through smart systems, stronger governance structures or cultural transformation. If you’re working at the intersection of ethics, innovation and leadership, you don’t want to miss this event.
