We are delighted to invite speaker submissions for our 2027 National Conference, Managing risk in an era of change, which brings together risk, insurance, governance, resilience, compliance, and business professionals to explore the challenges and opportunities shaping the future.

In an era defined by economic pressures, technological disruption, climate risk, political change, evolving reorganisation, artificial intelligence and emerging threats, organisations must adapt, innovate, and strengthen their resilience.

  • Cyber security and data protection
  • Climate change and sustainability risks
  • Organisational resilience and business continuity
  • Insurance market trends and risk financing
