In an era where Artificial Intelligence is rapidly reshaping every facet of business, the need for robust governance, sophisticated risk management, and stringent compliance has never been more critical. It is against this backdrop of transformative technological change that #RISK AI London, a premier event dedicated to navigating the complexities and unlocking the opportunities of AI, proudly announces its partnership with the Association of Governance, Risk and Compliance (aGRC). This collaboration marks a significant synergy, uniting two powerful communities committed to equipping professionals with the knowledge and tools to lead responsibly in the AI-driven world.
#RISK AI London: Mastering the New Frontier of AI Risk
Scheduled for September 25, 2025, at the Pullman London St Pancras, #RISK AI London is a meticulously curated one-day conference designed as an essential compass for professionals navigating the intricate landscape of AI adoption. The event’s mission is clear: to help attendees understand, mitigate, and proactively manage the risks associated with AI, while simultaneously identifying and seizing its vast opportunities.
The conference delves into a comprehensive array of critical themes, reflecting the multifaceted nature of AI risk:
- AI Governance & Ethics: Crucial discussions will address inherent challenges such as bias, fairness, and the imperative for transparency in AI systems.
- Cybersecurity in the Age of AI: Sessions will explore cutting-edge strategies for securing AI models and their underlying data, alongside advanced defensive measures against increasingly sophisticated AI-powered cyberattacks.
- The EU AI Act & Global Regulations: With regulatory landscapes evolving at a rapid pace, a key focus will be on preparing for compliance with pivotal legislation like the EU AI Act and understanding the broader global regulatory environment.
- Operationalising AI Risk Management: Experts will guide attendees through identifying, assessing, and effectively managing AI-specific risks across the entire AI lifecycle.
- Data Privacy & Security in AI Deployments: Protecting sensitive data in AI systems and ensuring compliance with vital regulations such as GDPR remains a cornerstone of responsible AI deployment.
- Beyond Compliance: Building Trust in AI: The conference will also extend beyond mere regulatory adherence, exploring how to foster public and stakeholder trust through robust transparency, accountability, and ethical AI practices.
- The Human Element: Recognising that AI is a tool, not a replacement for human judgment, sessions will explore the vital role of human oversight and best practices for “human-in-the-loop” AI integration.
#RISK AI London targets a broad audience of professionals who are actively involved in or need to deeply understand the risks associated with AI adoption. The conference’s goals include equipping attendees with actionable strategies, providing insights from leading experts, facilitating crucial networking opportunities, and ensuring professionals stay ahead of the curve in this rapidly evolving regulatory landscape.
AGRC: Empowering the Global GRC Community

Bridging AI Innovation with GRC Excellence
The partnership between #RISK AI London and AGRC represents a truly powerful synergy for both communities. For attendees of #RISK AI London, the collaboration with AGRC offers direct access to a well-established and accredited network of GRC professionals. This means that insights gained on AI risk mitigation and governance at the conference can be immediately contextualised within broader compliance frameworks, benefiting from AGRC’s deep expertise in operationalising GRC principles across various industries, particularly financial services. The partnership also provides a pathway for #RISK AI London delegates to explore continuous professional development and certification through AGRC’s programs, cementing their expertise in the rapidly evolving AI GRC domain.
Conversely, for the AGRC community, this partnership provides a crucial conduit to the bleeding edge of AI innovation and its associated risks. As AI becomes ubiquitous across all sectors, understanding AI-specific governance, ethical considerations, and cybersecurity challenges is paramount for every GRC professional. #RISK AI London offers AGRC members a dedicated forum to deepen their understanding of these emerging risks, learn directly from AI experts, and engage with the latest tools and strategies for AI risk management. This ensures that AGRC’s accredited professionals remain at the forefront of their field, equipped to guide organisations through responsible AI adoption and uphold the highest standards of governance and compliance in an AI-driven future.
In essence, this partnership is a commitment to fostering a holistic understanding of risk in the age of AI. By bringing together AI innovators, cybersecurity specialists, and seasoned GRC professionals, #RISK AI London, in collaboration with AGRC, is poised to be an indispensable event for anyone serious about building a secure, ethical, and resilient future.
