More Of The Same And, Yet, Somehow Different I Hope
By Francine • Jun 5th, 2008 • Category: Pure ContentCompliance Week 2008 Day 2 leads off in an hour with Harvey Pitt, the legend, the man. He always gives a good speech and his topic, the global regulatory regime, is an ambitious one. Better leave time to go to Starbucks and get a four-shot venti vanilla latte.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t make the Approva-Paisley joint cocktail at Morton’s this year, but a good time was had by all anyway. I finally got to meet Mike Evans of Approva in the flesh. The Approva blog via Mike was one of my earliest supporters, and his wife Laura authors a kick-butt political blog that gave me my first 2000 hit day. Approva, thanks for your hospitality.
For next session I’ve chosen Tom Wardell of McKenna Long & Aldridge talking about bullet-proof compliance programs.
Next up, KPMG’s John Farrell and ERM. I had such good luck with the KPMG Emerging Markets Fraud guys yesterday , I thought I would go with the trend.
More updates via Twitter during the day. Watch this site.
