12:00 PM Fireside Chat – Approaching 45 Million Users: Preparing for VLOP Obligations Before Designation

Focusing on the critical 12–18-month run-up to VLOP status, this fireside chat will explore how legal and compliance teams can strengthen governance, build evidence readiness and prepare internal stakeholders before regulatory expectations increase. Speakers will share practical lessons on what to build early, where teams typically underestimate the work involved and how to avoid last-minute compliance pressure.

• Preparing internal governance for VLOP-level scrutiny.
• Building evidence, audit and reporting processes before designation.
• Understanding where teams underestimate the operational lift.
