The Compliance Officer’s Forum, 27 – 28 January 2026, Düsseldorf, Germany
The European Compliance Officer's Forum, 27 - 28 January 2026, Düsseldorf, Germany
Når der er så meget støj, at det bliver svært at høre, er du nødt til at finjustere de stemmer, du lytter til.

Folk spørger mig ofte, hvad forummet handler om, og jeg svarer ofte: "Jeg er ikke helt sikker, ser du, vi mødes i et lokale, omkring halvtreds af os, og Manuela eller Andre eller Sam, det kunne egentlig være hvem som helst i lokalet, går op foran og visuelt understøttet af et par slides får os alle til at tale om noget, noget, der sandsynligvis har været øverst i alles tanker på det seneste, når de har fokuseret på jobbet."
Dette er et rum med ledende compliance-ledere, som mødes i Düsseldorf i oktober for at engagere sig, dele viden og benchmarke i en åben, intim og ærlig atmosfære i et designet rum med lænestole og sofaer. Det er ikke en "normal konference", men en åben og klar snak, ofte en udveksling af synspunkter, to intense dage, der er designet, så ledende compliance-ledere har et sted at dele ideer, lære nye og generelt deltage i diskussionen i afslappede, men dynamiske omgivelser.
The Forum is designed to act almost as a support group. It is unique and addresses requests that Nielsonsmith has received over the years to build a platform where senior compliance officers can meet openly, intimately and candidly.
Leadership in compliance is not easy, there are many often conflicting issues that require your focus and decision making can be isolating so creating complex situations where you have few options for support. You will find this support at the Forum along with shared wisdom from a high trust group.
We have been meeting for over five years now, growing every year as news of the Forum spreads from senior executive to senior executive, yet we still limit the Forum to fifty attendees to ensure we all get to know and learn from each other.
Your time is valuable, we want to maximise your time spent with us, so we have incorporated the opportunity this year to meet a selected group of specialists in pre-arranged meetings who can help to alleviate the corporate workload
Vi er dog kun halvtreds, og vi holder os til dette antal, så vi alle kan mødes og lære hinanden at kende, det fungerer glimrende, vi ses der.
