Agenda Preview

Procurement in the Age of AI: Ethics & Compliance in a Changing Federal Marketplace

The conference will feature a keynote session, “Procurement in the Age of AI: Ethics & Compliance in a Changing Federal Marketplace,” presented by Jessica Tillipman, Associate Dean for Government Procurement Law Studies at The George Washington University Law School. The session will examine emerging AI-related risks across the procurement lifecycle and supply chain, including organizational conflicts of interest, AI-enabled fraud and False Claims Act exposure, algorithmic collusion, system manipulation, and over-reliance on automated judgment. It will also explore practical compliance considerations for contractors as AI becomes increasingly integrated into their organizations, subcontractors, and federal procurement activities.

Active Bystandership: The Missing Link in Corporate Risk Reduction

Attendees will also hear from Jonathan Aronie, Partner at Sheppard, during “Active Bystandership: The Missing Link in Corporate Risk Reduction.” Active Bystandership is a practical approach that equips employees with the skills and confidence to intervene early when they see a colleague moving toward a potential mistake or compliance problem. Already used in high-stakes environments including aviation, healthcare, law enforcement, and the military, the approach offers contractors another tool for strengthening organizational culture and preventing problems before they result in costly compliance or enforcement issues.

Compliance and the Civil False Claims Act

Chris Terranova, Assistant Director, Civil Fraud Section, Commercial Litigation Branch, Department of Justice; Alex Canizares, Partner at Vinson & Elkins; Terra Fulham, Special Counsel at Covington; and Tirzah Lollar, Partner at Arnold & Porter, will provide perspectives on the False Claims Act and key compliance considerations for government contractors.

Additional speakers from government and industry are being invited to participate, and more program details will be announced in the coming weeks.
