Why must you attend this event?

We are living in a time of profound uncertainty, with global challenges evolving at a rapid pace. From climate risks and geopolitical conflicts to the accelerating rise of AI, the future is filled with unprecedented moments that demand a bold response. The complexity of these risks is growing, and now, more than ever, Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) has become essential. However, ERM is not just about mitigating risk—it’s about transforming challenges into opportunities for growth and resilience.

At this year’s IERP® Global Conference, we aim to explore how organizations can Rise from the Ashes of uncertainty and navigate the complex risk landscape. Our theme reflects both the destruction that these risks can cause and the potential for renewal and strength through effective ERM practices. In the face of emerging threats, ERM offers the framework to adapt, thrive, and build resilience for the future.

The conference will delve into the core areas where ERM plays a transformative role. As risks evolve, the conference will address how ERM strategies can help businesses capitalize on critical opportunities. For example, the rise of AI and Technology presents immense potential but also significant challenges. Understanding how to mitigate these risks while embracing innovation will be a key focus. Similarly, with Climate and Sustainability risks increasingly affecting business continuity, ERM provides the tools needed to drive sustainable and responsible growth.

In addition, Cybersecurity risks are constantly evolving, with organizations facing an increasing number of threats that can disrupt operations and harm reputations. The conference will examine how ERM can turn these disruptions into opportunities for strengthening security and resilience. By incorporating Risk and Compliance frameworks, businesses can also ensure they stay ahead of regulatory shifts while fostering a culture of compliance that minimizes exposure to legal and financial threats.

These discussions will not only highlight how ERM helps navigate specific risks, but also how it connects the dots across different disciplines. The two-day event will feature insightful keynote speakers, collaborative panel discussions, and interactive break-out sessions that will allow participants to dive deeper into the topics that matter most to them. Each session is designed to foster meaningful exchanges and empower attendees to implement actionable strategies within their own organizations.

At the IERP® Global Conference 2025, you’ll gain valuable insights into how to better assess, monitor, and respond to the rapid shifts in the risk management landscape. You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of emerging trends, the latest innovations in ERM, and practical tools to adapt to the evolving challenges of the modern business environment.

This is your opportunity to elevate your expertise, enhance your strategies, and help shape the future of risk management. Join us and be part of the conversation that will define the next era of ERM!

Conference Agenda

Pre-Conference, 4thAugust, Monday

Masterclass: Mastering the Art of Risk Appetite: Crafting Powerful Statements and Dynamic Frameworks for Strategic Success

by Ramesh Pillai, GMD Friday Concepts

An effective Risk Appetite Framework is a cornerstone of strong risk management and governance, acting as a vital enabler for organizations seeking to drive performance and empower employees to make informed, risk-aware decisions at all levels. Despite its growing importance, there remains a surprising lack of consensus on what truly constitutes an effective risk appetite framework and how to craft meaningful risk appetite statements.

Organizations vary significantly in how they report risk appetite, but the concept is becoming increasingly valuable when aligned with business goals and strategic priorities. By integrating risk appetite into long-term business planning, boards and executives can enhance their discussions around risk and make more informed decisions. This masterclass will provide valuable guidance for Directors and risk professionals, helping them refine and strengthen their risk appetite statements for greater impact and effectiveness.
