Congress Overview

On the 4th October 2022, the Resilience Association will be holding its 5th Annual Resilience Congress at One Moorgate Place, London, EC2R 6EA. It will be delivered as a “hybrid” event that combines direct audience participation in London, with live streaming via Zoom, and for those who are unable to attend there will be a recording of the Congress post event.

At this prestigious event, we have several keynote speeches delivered by Lord Toby Harris, Dr Robert MacFarlane OBE and Nik Gowing, followed by real life case studies, aspects relating to people & organisations that includes the launch by British Standards Institution (BSi) of BS65000:2022; Organizational Resilience - Code of Practice, with the Congress ending with research & findings from industry and academia where Dr Yasmin Saidai will be covering a Supply Chain Framework, and Dr Stephen Flynn putting forward "The Enterprise Resilience Imperative" as our closing keynote speech.

The Congress this year is sponsored by our Platinum Sponsors:
