SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MetricStream, the global market leader in AI-first connected governance, risk, and compliance (GRC), today announced its 14th Annual GRC Summit, to be held June 2–3, 2026, at the Royal Garden Hotel, London. Themed the Power of AI and Resilience, the Summit will convene hundreds of C-suite executives, board members, risk officers, and GRC practitioners from across Europe and beyond to explore how artificial intelligence is fundamentally transforming the way organizations govern risk, maintain compliance, and build lasting resilience.

MetricStream is proud to announce Parmy Olson as the Summit's keynote speaker.
