Wednesday 6 March, 8am for 8.30am to 9.30am, central London

Resilience First is delighted to convene our senior executive members for a breakfast roundtable discussion on Navigating our Uncertain World and Building Resilience with the Rt Hon Tobias Ellwood MP.

As businesses worldwide continue to operate in an environment of uncertainty and turbulence, brought on by climate change-induced risk, economic pressures, geopolitics, cyber threats, AI and technology disruption, it’s crucial to understand how government and the private sector can best collaborate to build resilience.

At this senior executives roundtable discussion with Tobias Ellwood MP, we look forward to exploring this issue further to develop pathways to building a safe, secure, and sustainable world. This occasion will also be an excellent opportunity to gain insights into emerging strategic thinking to enhance your organisation’s resilience and its operations.

Tobias has been the elected MP for Bournemouth East since May 2005. He has held numerous security and international affairs roles, including as Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office with special responsibility for the Middle East and Africa and Parliamentary under-Secretary of State in the Ministry of Defence. Tobias was the elected Chair of the House of Commons Defence Select Committee from January 2020 to September 2023.

This event is kindly hosted by Control Risks, and is by invitation only. For more information, please contact Beena Chester on contact@resiliencefirst.org
