Embed operational resilience and enhance third-party risk management to ensure stability across the supply chain in an increasingly complex global environment

Operational resilience and third-party risk remain key priorities for financial institutions amid a shifting macroeconomic environment. Recent economic and geopolitical shocks have put existing resilience and TPRM frameworks under pressure, prompting firms to re-evaluate their preparedness and response strategies. This conference offers a timely platform to assess how well current approaches are holding up and where enhancements may be needed – both in light of regulatory expectations such as DORA and in terms of progress embedding the resilience program across the institution and extending it to how they deal with third parties. By focusing on the core pillars of operational resilience, the event aims to equip attendees with the tools to refine their frameworks and align them with industry best practices and go beyond regulatory compliance.

Financial institutions must continue to build their resilience capabilities to move beyond regulatory requirements and elevate third-party processes to combat growing risks across the supply chain. The Marcus Evans 4th Edition Operational Resilience and Third-Party Risk for Financial Institutions conference will share case studies from leading banks and financial institutions to effectively embed resilience, strengthen supply chain mapping, and harness AI to enhance third-party oversight. Sessions will also cover how professionals are navigating scenario testing and establishing resilience within their third-party relationships and wider processes to ensure firms remain resilient through periods of severe disruption.

  • Evaluate best practices to embed operational resilience at a function level beyond regulatory requirements
