ABOUT THE EVENT
Following the midterm elections, we will hold an exclusive briefing hosted by Board Risk Consulting and Freshfields, comprised of in-person discussion examining the political, regulatory, technological, and geopolitical developments shaping the decisions boards and executive teams face.
Freshfields and BRC experts will explore AI and cybersecurity risk, shifting congressional and state attorney general priorities, and the evolving trade and tariff environment, with a focus on what these developments mean for board oversight, enterprise risk, operations, and long-term strategy. The session will conclude with a networking reception.
