AI Governance: Guiding Practical AI Adoption Through Effective Policy

Cost is $149 and your company can bring up to four people. You only need to submit one name for payment and we will reach out to you for the names of your guests attending with you.

We are well aware of the data risks that increasingly accessible AI tools are creating for organizations across the United States. Yet despite its role in guiding responsible AI use and mitigating these risks, effective governance often receives far less attention than the technology itself.

Join us for an interactive workshop exploring how to structure an AI use policy that gives employees clear guidance without hindering productivity gains. We will dive into what makes an effective AI policy, including the difference between guiding and restrictive approaches, where AI exists across your organization, the risks associated with different tools, and how to establish clear expectations around data, human oversight, AI literacy, and accountability.

Who Should Attend?

  • Business leaders and executive teams
  • IT and cybersecurity professionals
  • HR, compliance, and risk management teams
  • Anyone responsible for developing or enforcing AI policies

What You’ll Learn

  • Where AI exists across your organization and the risks associated with different tools
  • How vendor AI, personal subscriptions, and AI agents can impact company data
  • Best practices for creating AI policies employees will actually follow
  • When and where human oversight is needed
  • How to build AI literacy and accountability across your workforce

Interactive and Practical

Designed as a highly interactive session, attendees will participate in live polling, discussions, and real-world exercises that connect AI governance concepts to their own workplace challenges.
