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 is where these questions meet real answers. This half-day event brings together compliance officers, legal experts, and forward-thinking professionals for a thoughtful, fast-paced exchange of ideas. Through engaging keynotes and honest conversations, we’ll explore how organizations are turning values into action — not just in policy, but in culture, systems, and day-to-day decisions.

Expect a space designed for both insight and connection. Alongside practical demonstrations and panel discussions, there’s time carved out for meaningful conversations with peers who are shaping the future of corporate integrity.

EQS Connect is for those building trust in their organizations, whether by designing smarter systems or shifting mindsets. If you’re navigating the intersection of ethics, governance, and innovation, this is where you’ll want to be.

And for a deeper conversation, join us in the evening for TIPS x EQS Summer Social, an invite-only gathering of dialogue, drinks, and connection — focused on the values that drive our work: ethics, integrity, and accountability.
