NextStar’s Deborah Magid Featured Speaker at Compliance in the Age of AI, Boston
REGISTER NOW!

The forum convenes on June 4th and 5th, and is to take place at the Hyatt Regency, Boston, and is hosted by the Opal Group, with the expressed
purpose of bringing together senior compliance, legal, and risk leaders to confront the governance gap that is widening as AI adoption accelerates across industries. Conference organizer Meredith Anastasio, J.D. MSEL sets the tone plainly: “AI is not the risk. Your organization is.“
Why This Conversation Matters Now
AI governance is no longer a theoretical exercise. As AI becomes integral to business operations, it is reshaping how companies manage risk, ensure transparency, and maintain adherence to regulatory standards. Organizations across every sector are deploying AI systems that influence hiring decisions, customer interactions, operational workflows, and financial outcomes. What most of them do not yet have are governance structures built to match that level of exposure.
The gap between how quickly AI is being adopted and how slowly governance frameworks are being built is not a minor administrative oversight. It is a structural risk. When an AI system makes a consequential decision, the organization behind it is accountable for the outcome. Current risk frameworks were built for a world in which humans made those calls. That mismatch is where liability lives, and where the conversation in Boston begins.
In addition to examining the technical and regulatory dimensions, the event will highlight the ethical implications of AI adoption, with sessions emphasizing the importance of building trust through ethical AI practices, fostering accountability, and aligning AI-driven decisions with corporate values. Topics spanning real-time compliance monitoring, bias mitigation in automated systems, data privacy regulations, third-party risk management, and the governance of AI-powered compliance tools will all feature across the two-day program.
The compliance leaders gathering in Boston are the ones shaping internal policy, advising boards, and building the audit trails that regulators will require. The frameworks they design today will determine not only their legal exposure tomorrow, but their ability to earn and sustain the trust of customers, partners, and regulators over the long term.
The Panel: The Future of Risk Management and Governing AI Inside the Enterprise
Deborah will appear alongside panelists Matthew Galvin, William Nelson, and Praneeth Vepakomma for a focused discussion on how AI is changing the nature of organizational risk in ways that legacy frameworks were never designed to handle. The panel will examine what the next generation of enterprise risk management must look like for organizations operating in an environment where the technology and the regulatory landscape are evolving simultaneously.
Who Should Attend
This forum is designed for Chief Compliance Officers, Chief Ethics Officers, General Counsel, Chief Risk Officers, Chief Data Officers, and AI governance leaders, as well as privacy, information governance, and cybersecurity executives who are actively grappling with how to govern AI responsibly inside their organizations. If you are working through questions of accountability, transparency, and AI oversight, you will be in the right room.
