🚨 EU AI Act Deadline Looming: Stop Guessing, Start Complying

AI governance isn't a debate anymore, it's do-or-die. The EU AI Act hits full force in August 2026, and most teams are still in the dark: Is your AI in scope? High-risk? Who's accountable? What launches get blocked? That chaos? It's paralyzing product, legal, security, and business teams right now. Learn how to comply with real-world case studies.

This Maven workshop gets straight to the point. No fluffy theory, just battle-tested steps to:

  • Decode the risk tiers and slot your systems perfectly

  • Nail ownership across teams (no more finger-pointing)

  • Turn legalese into launch-ready actions - classify, govern, document, deploy

From fog to firepower: Better classification. Ironclad governance. Crystal-clear roles. A no-nonsense readiness roadmap.

Building, buying, or deploying AI? Ditch the confusion. Join us and flip policy paralysis into practical wins, before fines bite.

Bonus: How to Implement NIST AI Risk Management Framework and ISO 42001

Workshop agenda

  • 3:00PM EDT

    Module 1: AI Act basics & Risk Classification

    Scope of the act. Learn how to determine whether your AI system is high-risk under the EU AI Act.


  • 3:45PM EDT

    Module 2: Roles and liability — who owns what

    Learn who owns legal responsibility under the EU AI Act—provider, deployer, importer, or distributor—so your team can assign accountability clearly, close gaps, and reduce liability.


  • 4:00PM EDT

    Module 3: High-risk system obligations, the real compliance stack

    Understand the real compliance stack for high-risk AI systems—risk controls, data governance, documentation, logging, human oversight, monitoring, and the evidence needed to defend decisions.


  • 4:30PM EDT

    Module 4: GPAI, third-party models, and vendor risk

    Understand how GPAI, third-party models, and vendors change your obligations under the EU AI Act so you can assess shared risk, ask better diligence questions, and avoid hidden compliance gaps.
