About the Event
Vendor & Third Party Risk USA Cross Industry is an in-person conference bringing together senior practitioners to address the evolving landscape of third-party risk management in the United States and globally. The event is organized by CeFPro in partnership with the Third Party Risk Association (TPRA), combining industry expertise with association-level insight into current TPRM practices.
The agenda emphasizes practical, content-driven sessions rather than product presentations. Attendees participate in structured networking alongside case study discussions examining actual third-party failures and the operational disruptions they caused.
Third-Party Risk and Regulatory Pressures
Organizations face increasing regulatory expectations around vendor oversight, particularly in financial services, healthcare, technology, and critical infrastructure sectors. The conference addresses how practitioners can stay ahead of evolving compliance requirements while building resilient third-party ecosystems. Sessions explore the tension between regulatory demands and operational realities, with a focus on collaborative approaches to risk mitigation.
Cloud Concentration and Incident Response
Cloud concentration risk has emerged as a significant concern for organizations dependent on a limited number of service providers. The event examines strategies for managing this concentration alongside incident response planning when third-party disruptions occur. Practitioners share approaches to building resilience into vendor relationships and supply chains.
Who Should Attend
The conference targets senior professionals responsible for third-party oversight, including Chief Risk Officers, Heads of Vendor Management, Compliance Officers, and Risk Managers. Attendees typically come from regulated industries where third-party failures carry significant operational, financial, or reputational consequences.
