Beyond the Prompt — See What Actually Makes AI Work in Compliance
EQS Group is a proud sponsor of the 2026 SCCE Compliance & Ethics Institute. Come for the launch of Q by EQS and the new AI benchmark data, stay for the reception — and leave with a framework you can use Monday morning.
Every vendor at SCCE will tell you their AI is smart. We’ll show you the data.
In May 2026, we published Volume 2 of the EQS AI Benchmark, measuring how frontier AI models actually perform on Compliance & Ethics work. The headline finding surprised us: the top four models now finish within a single percentage point of each other. Model choice is no longer the differentiator. What separates a compliance program transformed by AI from one stuck in permanent pilot is the harness around the model — the context it can see, the systems it can act in, and the human checkpoints that keep it accountable.
At SCCE 2026 we’re bringing that research to the floor, to the stage, and to the courtyard. Here’s where to find us.

Every frontier AI model now scores within a hair of the others on real Compliance & Ethics tasks — so why do some AI rollouts quietly transform a compliance program while others burn budget and go nowhere? New data from the EQS AI Benchmark (Vol. 2) reveals the real differentiator: not the model, but the “harness” built around it — the context it can see, the systems it can act in, and the human checkpoints that keep it accountable. Walk into this session wondering which AI to buy. Walk out knowing exactly what separates a genuine compliance advantage from an expensive pilot that never scales.
Add the session to your SCCE agenda- The great flattening — why the top four frontier models are now separated by less than one percentage point on Compliance & Ethics tasks, and why betting on a “winner” model is no longer a strategy.
- What a harness actually is — the context, system access, and human-oversight layer that determines whether AI delivers.
- Proof it works — a five-step conflict-of-interest disclosure workflow now running end to end above 90% accuracy with a single model.
- The questions that actually matter — a field-tested framework for vetting any AI-enabled compliance tool: which models sit behind the feature, how outputs are logged for audit, where human checkpoints sit, and how your data is governed.
- Where the hype outruns reality — an honest look at computer-use automation and legacy GRC systems that were never built for AI access.
- What to do Monday morning — concrete next steps for moving cleared use cases from pilot to adoption.
The best conversations happen before the first session
Before the sessions begin, join EQS Group and Integrity Bridge for an exclusive evening of high-level networking, live music, and exceptional company. It’s the easiest way to catch up with peers and set the tone for a great week — and it’s a short walk from your room.

Bring us your hardest question
Find the EQS team at booth 600 on the exhibitor floor. We’re launching Q by EQS there, and we’ll have the AI Benchmark Vol. 2 findings on hand plus live walkthroughs of the harness in action — conflict-of-interest disclosures, case triage, and third-party due diligence running inside a real workflow, not a demo sandbox.


Meet Q by EQS — the AI layer running inside your compliance program
Q is the AI layer across EQS’s Compliance Cockpit — built into case management, speak-up intake, third-party due diligence, and analytics. It works on your data, inside your workflows, at every step — with every action logged and a human in control of each decision.
SCCE 2026 is where Q goes live. The booth is the first place you can see it running on real compliance work, with the team that built it standing next to it.
- Triages every report on arrival — severity scored, category classified, before anyone opens the case
- Maps the people and entities behind a case automatically, surfacing connections investigators would otherwise dig for
- Builds the audit trail as it works — every classification, score, and human decision logged in real time
Prefer to lock in time? Book a 20-minute slot with one of our compliance specialists and we’ll have the right person waiting for you.
The best coffee on the exhibit floor
We’re also sponsoring a custom coffee cart during open booth hours — specialty espresso drinks and matcha, made to order. Bring a colleague, grab a caffeinated beverage, and stay as long as the conversation is good.
If you want to talk shop over a flat white, we’re easy to find — the cart runs right in booth 600 throughout the exhibit hall hours.
