SESSIONS
At 10:15 a.m. on Thursday, June 5, David Landau will lead a small-group conversation in which compliance chiefs can discuss their challenges aligning compliance programs with their companies’ brand and stategy (limited to 24 compliance executives). The conversation is a precurser to Landau's 3:15 p.m. session on linking compliance strategy to brand and business.

Then at 3:15 p.m., Landau will lead a session at which he discusses how compliance officers can move from a traditional “compliance-focused” program to one that is aligned with and supports the company’s strategic business priorities. Landau will discuss how Starbucks has linked compliance to the company’s brand and reputation, and will outline ways that companies can shift tactics so that compliance plays a role in strengthening a culture for good business decisions.
