About the Event
The Enterprise Risk / Security Management conference brings together organizational leaders in Chicago (Rosemont/O’Hare), Illinois, for a day of practical strategy development. The programme combines presentations, panel discussions featuring enterprise leaders, and structured networking sessions. The workshop-led, executive-level format prioritises actionable insights over product demonstrations, with vendor engagement limited to informal networking during breaks.
Core Topics and Challenges
Sessions address the operational realities of managing risk across complex organizations. The agenda covers building risk-aware cultures, improving executive risk reporting for board-level audiences, embedding risk management into business planning cycles, and anticipating emerging risks before they materialize. A recurring theme is breaking down silos between risk, security and compliance functions to create unified frameworks that support informed decision-making.
The conference responds to specific pressures facing large enterprises: evolving cyber threats, regulatory changes, supply chain dependencies and the integration challenges posed by emerging technologies. Attendees will explore how fragmented risk management undermines resilience and how cross-departmental collaboration strengthens crisis preparedness and business continuity.
Who Should Attend
The event targets senior professionals responsible for enterprise risk, security, compliance and business continuity in mid-to-large organizations. Relevant roles include CISOs, risk managers, compliance officers, IT and security directors, business continuity managers, and board members seeking to strengthen governance, risk and compliance (GRC) capabilities across their enterprises.
