The GRC Summit US 2025 is a premier event focused on governance, risk, and compliance (GRC), organized by MetricStream, a global leader in GRC solutions. Scheduled for November 17-18, 2025, at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, the summit aims to bring together over 200 C-level executives, board members, and GRC practitioners to explore the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the future of risk, compliance, and resilience.
Key topics at the summit include leveraging AI in GRC programs to accelerate growth, transitioning from risk management to embracing risk through an AI-first strategy, enhancing compliance posture via AI automation, and enabling agile, risk-based audit planning using AI. Additionally, the event will address building an AI-first connected GRC defense across cyber risk, resilience, and regulatory landscapes.
The summit will feature keynote presentations, interactive workshops, and networking sessions. Notably, motivational speaker Rudy Ruettiger, whose life inspired the film "Rudy," will deliver a keynote address, sharing insights on perseverance and achievement. Attendees will also have the opportunity to engage with industry experts, participate in hands-on workshops, and explore MetricStream's products and solutions in depth.
This event is ideal for GRC professionals, including risk managers, compliance officers, auditors, and executives seeking to stay ahead in the evolving GRC landscape. Participants will gain actionable insights into emerging regulations, operational resilience, cyber risk, and strategic enablers of effective GRC programs, all within the context of AI-driven transformation.
