★ AI: The Risk-Reward Calculus

The World Economic Forum's Global Perception Survey for 2023/24 placed AI-generated misinformation and Cyber insecurity among the top three risks for corporations and Governments. These technology-related risks and their impact on privacy have become a top priority for business leaders. We bring together a panel of experts in AI, data privacy, technology, and cyber security to discuss how generative AI is affecting the risk landscape for organisations and how it can be used safely and for the benefit of our people, organisations and society.

★ Preventing Workplace Violence: Creating a Safe, Secure and Productive Environment

In a global survey conducted by Gallup, one in five employed people have experienced violence or harassment at work - equating to over 743 million employees. As the variability of the workplace environment changes, organisations have a growing pressure to ensure their people remain safe. In this panel, our security experts will share the preventative measures to put in place to uphold Duty of Care responsibilities and to ensure a secure and productive workforce.

★ Geopolitical Instability: Strategies for Protecting your Operations and your People

As the instability felt from global geopolitical tensions exacerbates existing challenges for organisations, our experts will address the resilience measures required to maintain resilience during uncertain times. Reflecting on the recent conflict across the Middle East, the session will offer delegates the unique opportunity to discuss security risk management best practices when operating in high-risk locations and how corporate organisations can leverage their methodologies when operating in these environments.

★ Navigating Climate Resilience: Building Strategies for a Changing World

The impact of climate-related events has put significant strain on organisational resilience. The residual effects on the health and security of global organisations is exacerbated by the increasing intensity of recent extreme weather conditions such as flooding, extreme heat, hurricanes, droughts and wildfires. In this session, our experts in climate change, and sustainability will delve into the key challenges and strategies to positively impact organisations, their people and their community.

★ Creating a Culture of Inclusion: Promoting Diversity & Equity in the Workplace

They will address the potential hurdles and practical methods for resolution as part of a broader Duty of Care ecosystem.
