MetricStream, the global market leader in governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) solutions, today announced the speakers for its 14th annual U.S. GRC Summit. The free event takes place virtually on November 4 and 5, 2026, in two half-day sessions that begin at 7:30 a.m. PT / 10:30 a.m. ET. More than 1,500 people have registered to date.

Sessions cover how organizations move AI from pilot projects to strategic outcomes across risk, compliance, audit, and cyber; how they govern the AI they deploy; and where human judgment still leads. Agentic AI, in which agents perform GRC tasks with a human-in-the-loop, is a core theme.

“GRC teams are rapidly adopting AI to reduce manual work and lower costs,” said Manu Gopeendran, Senior Vice President, Strategy & Marketing, MetricStream. “Agentic AI is taking that further, with agents increasingly handling tasks such as data capture and evidence gathering under human oversight. The GRC Summit offers practitioners a look at how leading organizations are adopting AI and what it takes to make it work in practice.”
