NAVEX Global's 2017 Ethics & Compliance Virtual Conference to feature NPR social science correspondent Shankar Vedantam


Leading ethics and compliance software and services company NAVEX Global is pleased to announce that National Public Radio's social science correspondent Shankar Vedantam, who also hosts the popular Hidden Brain Podcast, will be a keynote speaker at the 2017 Ethics & Compliance Virtual Conference (ECVC) on Thursday, November 9.

Kristy Grant-Hart, author of "How to be a Wildly Effective Compliance Officer," is also a featured keynote speaker and will conclude the day-long event.

"It's an exciting, challenging and ever-changing time to be an ethics and compliance professional," said Carrie Penman, NAVEX Global's Chief Compliance Officer & SVP Advisory Services. "Speakers like Shankar and Kristy, along with our great course selections, will pave the way for attendees to return to their organizations prepared to go beyond compliance and act upon the theme of this year's event: 'Igniting a Winning Workplace Culture.'"

Professionals from all levels within ethics and compliance, legal, human resources, audit, risk management and corporate training/learning attend the conference each year. The 2017 event will be divided into tracks: Leading for the Future, Investing in Corporate Culture and Aligning Corporate Risk & Resolution.

New to the event this year is a Compliance Success Boot Camp. Designed for compliance professionals, the boot camp includes six 30-minute sessions providing targeted learning covering technology, creating an effective team, steps for CCOs, inspiring ethics and performance, and more.

Vedantam's session is titled "The Psychology of Ethical Behavior: Mastering the Science of Compliance," and focuses on the role of unconscious decisions in corporate culture. Grant-Hart's session, "How to Be a Wildly Effective Compliance Officer: Why Every Decision Is a Strategic One," will focus on how a CCO can set strategic goals and work with other parts of the enterprise to ensure those goals are understood and respected.

Other 2017 ECVC sessions include:

  • Understanding Your Personal Responsibility & Liability as CCO (John P. Cunningham, Partner, Baker & McKenzie LLP and Carrie Penman, CCO & SVP Advisory Services, NAVEX Global)
