The Resilience360 conference will bring together leaders from government, emergency services and critical infrastructure
Nineteen Events, organisers of the Emergency Services Show and Emergency Tech Show, have announced the launch of the Resilience360 conference.
Taking place at the NEC Birmingham this September alongside the Emergency Services Show, the event has been created as a new leadership forum focused on operational resilience, critical infrastructure protection and continuity of operations.
The new conference has been developed to bring together government representatives, critical infrastructure operators, emergency services leaders and industry professionals responsible for maintaining essential services during disruption, crisis and major incidents.
Strategically positioned at the intersection of operational resilience, emergency preparedness and critical infrastructure, Resilience360 will examine how organisations can prepare for, respond to and recover from disruption in an increasingly complex risk environment.
The conference comes at a time of heightened geopolitical uncertainty, rising cyber threats, climate-related disruption and supply chain instability. Organisers say the programme will provide a platform for cross-sector collaboration and leadership on resilience strategy and operational continuity.
Hayley Simpson, Event Director for The Emergency Services Show, said: “By bringing Resilience360 together with the Emergency Services Show and Emergency Tech Show, we can offer something genuinely joined-up: frontline response, emergency coordination and long-term resilience planning, all under one roof.
“For Nineteen Group, this is about making sure the show reflects how disruption actually plays out for organisations – as an ongoing cycle of prepare, respond and recover, rather than a single moment in time. Our ambition is to bring critical infrastructure leaders into the same room and spark real collaboration, sharper strategic thinking and ideas people can actually use, for the future of resilience.”
The conference will bring together senior leaders responsible for resilience strategy, security operations, crisis management, business continuity and infrastructure protection from sectors including energy, utilities, transport, telecommunications, government, healthcare and critical national infrastructure.
Organisers say the combined Emergency Services Show, Emergency Tech Show and Resilience360 will represent the full lifecycle of disruption, covering frontline response and emergency coordination through to recovery, continuity and long-term resilience planning.
Mark Tilley, Conference Producer, said: “The risks facing organisations responsible for critical services have never been more interconnected or complex. Resilience360 has been created as a dedicated leadership platform for those responsible for keeping operations running during disruption, whether that disruption comes from cyber attacks, infrastructure failure, climate events, supply chain instability or major incidents.
“By bringing together leaders from critical infrastructure sectors, we hope to create a space for meaningful collaboration, strategic discussion and practical learning around the future of resilience.”
