Join us online for our first ever half day Risk Management Conference. Our expert speakers will provide a well-rounded overview of the overarching risks that members encounter regardless of practice or specialisation.

The day will include analysis of topics relevant to all sectors, including risks in AI and tech governance and how to create a business continuity plan. Additional break outs offer opportunities for sector specific advice[SZ1.1] and a nuanced study of EDI and financial resilience.

Given the importance of planning for sustainability, risk and continuity in every organisation, this Conference will be relevant for private practice, in-house and high street firms, and is one we intend to host annually.
