    Resilience by Design

    Location: Count Basie C

    Before systems are tested or risks are exposed, resilience is built in how teams are trained, how knowledge is shared, and how accountability shows up every day. This opening session focuses on putting strong, repeatable practices in place to reduce operational and compliance risk before errors affect consumers or gaps draw scrutiny. You’ll take a clear-eyed look at how prepared your organization really is, not in theory, but in day-to-day execution.
