We are excited to support our friends at the National Consortium for Societal Resilience (NCSR+) as they host the 4th Conference on Societal Resilience on 24-25 February 2026 in Manchester.

This in-person, two-day conference will continue the national and international conversation on societal resilience to disruption. It brings together professionals and organisations from the public, voluntary, community and business sectors to network, learn and explore collaborative ways to strengthen resilience.

The conference will address the theme of society in resilience, including:

  • Civil society as a co-developed capability with resilience partners

    Cyber attacks across the supply chain: How London’s SMEs can prepare and respond

    Thursday 19 March, 10:30-12:00, Microsoft Teams

    Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) underpin London’s economy, yet many face increasing cyber risks without the resources or expertise to defend against them. A cyber incident affecting an SME can quickly spread through supply chains, disrupting services and causing financial and reputational damage for the business, its partners and customers.
