2022 Risk and Resilience New Zealand Summit

From our RiskNZ Chair, Jane Rollin.

Thank you to everyone who was able to join us for the 2022 Risk and Resilience Summit – it was wonderful to see so many of you in Auckland to hear from the fantastic lineup of speakers.  I opened the conference by saying that as a Board, we had one goal – and that was to connect with as many of you as possible, and to connect you to as many other people as possible.  Thankfully our sponsors made that really easy, providing opportunities to catch up over coffee, spin the wheel for prizes, grab some fabulous cleaning products AND to learn more about some great tools to help you as risk practitioners in your work.

I particularly enjoyed seeing so many of you chatting, swapping numbers and experiences which I hope will in turn grow your network of ‘sounding boards’.  I stand by my view that helping manage risk effectively is a team sport – and we’re all better at that together.

I’d also like to thank Brightstar for helping make this event happen – its definitely cemented the need for a regular conference discussing risk.We’ve had some great feedback and yes, we are already turning our minds to what we might do in 2023!  If you have ideas about what you’d like to hear more about, please get in touch.
