What is the RWN Summit

The Resilience World Nexus (RWN) Summit convenes C-suite executives and senior leaders who recognise that resilience drives performance, protects value, and secures long-term growth.

This is where global decision-makers meet to shape strategies that anticipate disruption, manage risk, and turn uncertainty into advantage.

If resilience isn’t already embedded in your business strategy — it needs to be.

Join RWN and lead the transformation before disruption leads you.

The Update Apocalypse

The July 2024 CrowdStrike Falcon cybersecurity platform outage demonstrated how a single faulty software update can trigger global disruption, affecting around 8.5 million devices and critical services within airlines, healthcare, finance, and government, across the world. The incident exposed systemic risks from vendor dependency, testing and validation flaws, and tightly coupled technology ecosystems, highlighting that even cybersecurity tools can become points of failure.

Academic Endorsements

"In a world where disruptions are the operational baseline, this forum embraces uncertainty, reframes high-impact, low-probability events as strategic realities, and positions resilience as the practical path for leveraging adaptive capacity."
Dr. Gianluca Pescaroli
Professor in Operational Continuity |  UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON
"In a world where geopolitical and climate risks are accelerating, this summit cuts through the noise to deliver what senior leaders actually need to know."
Dr. Emmanuel Fragnière

“Systemic risk is the new normal and the Sendai Framework makes clear: resilience must be co-created. The private sector isn’t just a stakeholder, it’s a system-shaper. This forum is a timely step toward unlocking the leadership, innovation, and investment needed to future-proof our economies.”
