Global Presilience® Summit 2026
The Anticipation Advantage: Building the Capability to Thrive in an Uncertain World
The world is changing faster than many organisations can adapt. Geopolitical uncertainty, artificial intelligence, interconnected risks and constant flux are testing traditional approaches to risk management and resilience.
Join the Institute of Presilience® | Risk 2 Solution Group and its global community of partners, graduates and supporters for an engaging three-hour virtual summit exploring how leaders and organisations can move beyond traditional risk management and resilience to build the capabilities they need to thrive in uncertainty.
The Global Presilience® Summit 2026 brings together international experts, business leaders, risk professionals and decision-makers for thought leadership, practical insights and global perspectives on the challenges shaping our world.
Through expert keynotes, practical discussions and international perspectives, we will explore how organisations can move from reacting to disruption towards anticipating change, making better decisions and creating opportunity.
Presilience® is not just about being ready for what goes wrong. It is about developing the capability to recognise and act on what could go right.
