Dispatches From Converge ’17 in Denver
Convercent is hosting its annual conference, Converge ’17, in Denver this week. Radical Compliance could not be there, so as a fun change of pace, below are a few photos and posts others have made on the Interwebs about the event…
First, the obligatory statement that young people are the future, and old people need to live with it:

Just remember, young people: the old people sign your paychecks, and their music was way cooler.
And then there was this observation about startups—
Disrupters are connecting ethics to brand and values. May be why they are disrupting. @LinkedIn @UnderArmour @Airbnb #converge17

One presumes Uber was not part of that panel.

Inspiring Day1 at #Converge17! Ethics=values; #compliance is just obedience. Know your values; empower them with information; build trust. pic.twitter.com/ZsDZOvTr3G

Some might say this has become more true since Jan. 20…

All in all, Converge 17 looks like it was a blast. I will do my best to wrangle a press pass next year so I can provide live commentary. And if your organization is hosting a compliance, governance, risk, or audit event, always feel free to alert me at mkelly@radicalcompliance.com. We will add your event to our Listings page, free of charge.
