Conference Program

Through experiences that took place during the first conference, it became evident that there is a need to integrate a capacity-building component in the Business Continuity and resilience sector in Qatar, in addition to participants’ keenness to establish connections and forge relationships among professionals. Unlike the first conference, which was dedicated to showcasing current practices and success stories in the Qatari market, the 2nd edition of the conference will focus on integrating international best practices, and the role of Business Continuity and Resilience in building a reliable economy.

Conference Structure

The highly anticipated event includes a conference, Business Continuity and Resilience Awards, as well as info-graphs and information exchanges where international experts in business continuity, risk management, disaster mitigation, preparedness and recovery deliver key presentations that draw on their global expertise in the field. Furthermore, participants have the opportunity to interact and exchange experiences and opinions to come up with recommendations through the interactive session, which will be held for the second year after having achieved great success in the first edition of the conference last year.
The Conference will also offer participants opportunities to connect with their peers and counterparts in various sectors such as business and trade, manufacturing, financial market, banking, ICT, oil and gas, energy, retail, construction and more.
