Seeking Expertise in Europe’s Critical Risk Domains

Share Your Insights on Today’s Most Pressing Challenges.

We are seeking dynamic and knowledgeable speakers to address a wide range of topics relevant to the current UK and European risk landscape. We are particularly interested in proposals focusing on our 5 core stages:

  1. Information Security Stage:  Tackling the dual nature of AI and cloud technologies as both risks and solutions, while deep-diving into the evolving ransomware landscape and the “human element” of security culture.
  2. BFSI Stage:  Dedicated to Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance, focusing on operational resilience frameworks, board-level risk reporting, and the growing complexity of ESG and climate-related risks.
  3. Protective Security Stage:  Where physical, personnel, and cyber risks converge. Expect sessions on identity management, biometric perimeters, and the analytics needed to manage insider threats effectively.
  4. GRC Stage:  Moving beyond “tick-box” compliance toward joined-up, risk-led governance. This stage explores unified GRC platforms and the impact of the new regulatory burden in an AI-driven world.
  5. Third-Party & Supply Chain Stage:  A critical look at end-to-end resilience. We will be breaking down DORA and NIS2 requirements, software supply chain attacks, and the visibility needed for N-th party risk.

We welcome proposals for solo presentations, panel discussions, interactive workshops, and case studies that offer practical, actionable insights.
