WHY NOW?
Infrastructure under growing pressure
We live in an increasingly TUNA world – turbulent, uncertain, novel and ambiguous.
At the same time the economy, society and nature are more dependent on critical national infrastructure (CNI) than ever before.
A growing litany of structural and mechanical failures, software glitches and hacks, fires, floods, heatwaves, power and communication outages and civil protests have shown that even small, local disruptions can have far-reaching impacts.
WHAT THE CONFERENCE OFFERS
Strengthening preparedness at every level
Resilience is CNI focused. It will provide leaders with valuable insight, new ideas, real world examples and actionable recommendations to improve preparedness – for their organisation, their sector, their region, and the nation.
PROGRAMME
understanding risk AND taking action
Morning – Understanding the risks
Explore the national picture and lessons from across infrastructure sectors. Examine failures, near misses and emerging threats, including how disruption can spread between connected systems.
Afternoon – Building resilience
Explore practical approaches to preparedness, scenario exercises, resilience measurement, investment and collaboration.
The proposed programme combines presentations, case studies, panel discussions and audience questions.
Full programme and speakers to be announced.
