Recap of Webinar: Risk Management for an Adapting and Innovating Industry

Over the past 18 months, the COVID-19 pandemic, social justice crisis and the climate emergency converged to raise a primary concern around global equity. This convergence has called us to mobilise a long-standing commitment and practice of sound risk management as well as a duty of care for our stakeholders and the communities we serve. In this session, hear from industry leaders about how they have prepared and responded to major risks to their organisations, industry and events and how they are building resilience for the future.

We also launched EIC’s latest edition of the Risk Management Guidebook and provided a preview of the contents.

Learning outcomes: 

• Preview the guidance from EIC’s new Risk Management Guidebook
• Understand key long-standing considerations for risk management for event professionals
• Hear from industry leaders about how they’ve approached risk management in their careers
