As territories around the world are introducing AI legislation, e.g. the EU AI Act, this masterclass covers the essential responsibilities that the secretariat and Board have around compliance of AI.

Furthermore, it will address how AI requires the co-ordination of Legal, Risk, and Ethics. If not properly managed, these matters will slow down AI deployments. Learn how to ensure there is co-ordinated effort to manage AI across these critical functions, to ensure AI deployments are a success.

The topic of modern slavery is key not only to businesses but also to governments, and its importance is increasing within large, multinational corporations.

Join us for this event in collaboration with EY, taking place at their London Bridge Offices. 2026 marks 11 years since the UK introduced the Modern Slavery Act (MSA), which was lauded at the time as the leading global standard of its kind. In December 2025, the government issued updated guidance on the steps that companies should be taking to comply with the MSA, and in July 2025 the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Human Rights recommended that new legislation is needed in this space. In this session our expert speaker Joshua Domb will discuss learnings from the last decade, and reflect on the range of risks that have crystalised for businesses around the world where their focus on human rights considerations has fallen short. Joshua will highlight key legal developments in this space globally, offer thoughts on how human rights focused compliance is likely to evolve and share best practices for getting your human rights programme right.
