# Confessions of a Compliance Team: The workarounds we don't talk about

September 24, 2026 \- 11:00-12:00pm

Every compliance team runs on workarounds. The drawer of highlighters. The spreadsheet only one person understands. The "quick question" that lands on the same desk, every time. Nobody put them in the process doc, but somewhere along the way they became the process.

Join us for an honest, funny and practical hour with compliance leaders who've lived all of it and, more to the point, worked out how to fix it. We'll swap the workarounds we don't usually admit to, why they happen, and how to stop compliance being a daily act of heroics.

No jargon, no pretending it's all under control. Just real stories from people who've been there, plus your questions.
