Get Ready for GRC Summit 2021. Learn How You Can Power What’s Next

Introduction

On the heels of our immensely successful GRC Summit in June, our flagship event is back to bring you the latest happenings in the GRC universe.

Now in its ninth year, the GRC Summit, hosted by MetricStream, is the biggest and the most awaited event in the GRC space. It brings together risk, compliance, audit, and cybersecurity professionals from across industries and geographies to share their experience, expertise, and strategies for building better governed, more risk-aware, compliant, and resilient enterprises that can power through what’s next.

The last edition of the virtual GRC Summit had over 2600 delegates from over 1100 organizations. The next edition, with the theme “Power What’s Next,” will be conducted in a hybrid format, comprising of the two-day virtual event on October 19 and 20, and in-person networking sessions (invite-only) in a peer-to-peer roundtable format conducted in three cities across Europe.

Okay. But Why Should I Attend?

The pandemic has changed the way businesses operate in an unprecedented manner – from the accelerated pace of digitization to new ways of working, new regulations, new risks, and beyond. Organizations today need to explore ways in which they can not only manage these disruptive risks but also embrace and thrive on risk.

In our State of Risk Management Survey 2021, more than half of the organizations (52.63%) that had deployed an integrated risk solution said that they did not make any changes to risk programs and strategies due to the pandemic.

In the upcoming summit, hear it directly from these trailblazers and forward thinkers on the key strategies that helped them tackle the unknown unknowns and navigate this new terrain. Gain valuable insights from powerful keynotes, engaging panel discussions, customer case studies, and expert talks to understand:

• The key risks faced by organizations post-pandemic
• How to stay one step ahead of risks
• Industry best practices for risk, compliance, and resilience management
• What’s now in GRC innovation and what’s next

Some of the key speakers at the upcoming GRC Summit are:
