Day 1 Tuesday | 06 October 2026

Schedule Track 1: Resilient Living Track 2: Adaptation, Governance and Regulatory Track 3: Resilience Outlook, Threats and Opportunities
Opening Plenary The Rise of Resilience
In the past 30 years, resilience has evolved from a technical function within an organisation, to an essential cornerstone of any functioning organisation. Increasingly integrated within strategic execution, resilience today is not just about protecting people, assets, operations - but an essential and embedded element in the development of an organisation’s reputation and bottom line. How did this transformation happen? And what developments are happening today and the near future as the importance of resilience is recognised by investors, customers and the wider community?
Morning Sessions The Model Village Project: Inside the Resilient Cities of the Future Is ESG the Real Driver for Better Resilience? Artificial Intelligence: Friend, Foe, Frenemy or Something else?
People and Communities: Strengthening Societal Resilience as a Sum of the Resilience of its People How to be sure you are Good Enough at Resilience? Locking in Resilience with Blockchain Solution: Real World Applications
Afternoon Sessions Megacities of the Future: Engineering in Resilience CSRD, TCFD, TNFD, EUT and ISSB - Resilience in the Alphabet Soup of Regulatory Disclosures NextGen Cyberthreats: From Quantum Unlocking State Nexus and Vishing: Are We Ready?
Vulnerable Frontiers: Innovative Ideas for Cost Effective Resilience in Challenging Environments Climate Events: Leveraging Insights to Manage Future Risks No Stupid Ideas: Robot Firefighters and Crowd-Sourced Hazard Maps; The Resilience Tools of the Future
How Organisations can Work Together with Insurance to Improve Resilience and still Own the Risk? Measuring Resilience: Leading and Lagging Indicators for Better Performance Disease Watch: From Avian Flu to Novel Haemorrhagic Viruses: Outlook and Preparation
Closing Plenary Resilient Supplier Networks: Raising the Game
All customers are juggling the competing requirements of supply chain cost, resilience and sustainability. As many organisations have found out, any fragility in the supply chain is most likely to be exposed during the stress of a crisis manifestation. This plenary focuses on work conducted to look at how this trilemma can be resolved to ensure that resilience is not compromised by an over focus on cost, and sustainable practices are in place to balance these competing needs.

 

Day 2 Wednesday | 07 October 2026

Schedule Track 1: Resilient Living Track 2: Adaptation, Governance and Regulatory Track 3: Resilience Outlook, Threats and Opportunities
Opening Plenary Geopolitical review: Ensuring readiness for geopolitical uncertainty today and tomorrow
In a climate of interstate conflict, bipartisanship and resource competition, new lines are being drawn to ensure that countries and businesses are able to withstand unpredictable shocks. In this plenary session, we review the challenges of the geopolitical environment today and look ahead to the preparation and adaptation required to predict and prepare for the events of tomorrow.
Morning Sessions Practical Methodologies to Develop and Grow Public Sector Resilience Assigning a Market Value to Resilience Early Warnings For All: What are the Latest Tools and Techniques?
Learning from the Edge: How Emerging Technologies is Empowering Resilience in Emerging Nations? What does a Good Adaptation Strategy Look Like and How Do You Know? Sendai Update: What is the Value for Organisations and Communities?
Afternoon Sessions We have Grown Resilient to Conflict: Are we Ready to be Resilient for Peace? Harnessing Technology to Enhance Governance and Assurance Modelling Long-term Weather Trends: Practical Approaches to Preparing for Disasters
How to Attract Better Financing through Resilience? Reporting Resilience: What Regulators, Customers and Investors Really Need to Know How do we Manage the Skills Gap in Business Resilience?
Resourcing and Budgeting Resilience to Optimise ROI Balancing and Integrating Regulatory Resilience and Adaption Requirements Space: From Communications, Travel, Threats, and Defence. What is the Final Frontier?
Closing Plenary Resilience Outlook: Threats of Tomorrow - Action Today
The greatest value of the resilience mindset is the ability to analyse events and anticipate the crises of tomorrow. This foresight enables organisations to invest in the development of tools and techniques to detect adverse events at the earliest stage, and to put in place the tools and techniques that minimise disruption and optimise recovery. We are joined by world experts who can provide a unique glimpse inside the crystal ball.
