About

Join us at Corporater Connect+ in New York – A New Viking Journey Begins.

In October 2025, New York will welcome Restaurationen, the faithful replica of the ship that carried the first Norwegian emigrants to America 200 years ago. This bicentennial celebration marks a new phase in Corporater’s journey, signifying our commitment to deepening and expanding our presence in the United States.

Corporater invites you to join us on this special day as we mark not only this moment in history, but also the beginning of our own new journey. Just as the friendly Vikings set sail for new opportunities two centuries ago, Corporater is charting a new course in the United States.

We look forward to celebrating heritage, friendship, and the future together with you.

  • 3:00 PM - 3:30 PM
  • Scaling AI & GRC - Separating Fact and Fiction
  • Are technology providers overpromising and underdelivering when it comes to AI? Are organizations struggling to scale AI or drive measurable ROI from large AI projects? As we enter a new phase of AI, where organizations must demonstrate the value of AI at scale, it is becoming clear that the road to pervasive AI in all organizations is a longer one to travel. This presentation will look at where AI is today, how it impacts organizations’ technology stack, and how we demonstrate the value of large-scale AI implementations for GPRC results. The presentation will equally look at how AI and GRC will change processes and organizational structures going forward.
