EQS Circle: San Francisco E&C Executive Roundtable

is an invite-only roundtable for Bay Area Chief Ethics & Compliance Officers and senior compliance leaders.

We will center the conversation on the decisions that matter most: how E&C shapes company strategy and budgets, the first ever AI Benchmark for Ethics and Compliance, and how to navigate the DOJ’s evolving focus areas for 2026 and beyond. This is a closed-door, Chatham House Rule exchange that is peer to peer and challenge led. We will take the discussion where your toughest issues lead.

Topics of conversation

Strategy & Budget: How E&C influences company strategy, risk appetite, and the 2026 budget cycle

Benchmark AI models in E&C: We will introduce the first-ever E&C AI Benchmark study, the Ethics Eval, the first dedicated benchmark in E&C, and discuss how leaders can use it to guide responsible AI adoption.
