Moving Compliance Professionals Forward: SCCE's 25th Annual Compliance & Ethics Institute

For a quarter of a century, the Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics (SCCE) has spearheaded advancement in the compliance sector through its Compliance & Ethics Institute (CEI). The upcoming 2026 CEI, set to take place from September 27 to September 30 in Orlando, Florida, continues to be the premier event for compliance professionals worldwide. Whether seeking the latest regulatory developments, best practice methods, or valuable networking opportunities, attendees can expect a vibrant and informative experience.

Purpose and Vision

The foundation of CEI's success lies in its dedication to people. Each year, compliance professionals converge from different corners of the globe, driven by their desire to build trust, share insights, and enhance compliance strategies collaboratively.

Each track is meticulously designed to address pressing questions faced by professionals today, such as:

• - How should compliance programs adapt in response to rapid advancements in AI and emerging technology?
• - What lessons can we derive from current trends in investigations and enforcement?
• - How can organizations improve culture and reporting practices amid growing complexities in global regulations?

Expert Insights
