The most pressing security and resilience challenges today don’t belong to any one sector—and effective solutions cannot be limited to one sector, either.
As emerging technologies accelerate, supply chains grow more complex, and disruptions become more interconnected, the need for real coordination—not just conversation—has never been greater. This symposium is designed to move beyond panels and into practical dialogue that shapes action and builds lasting partnerships.
Experts will focus on issues such as:
Artificial Intelligence
Supply Chain Security
Emergency Response & Interdependencies
Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS)
Cross-Sector Communication
Through a mix of expert perspectives and practitioner-led exchange, attendees will explore the evolving threat landscape, share on-the-ground insights, and identify where collaboration can have the greatest impact.
This is not a passive event—it’s a working session. The priorities and ideas that emerge will directly inform CXC’s 2026 initiatives and help shape a shared agenda for strengthening cross-sector coordination in the years ahead.
Registration is now open to professionals across sectors who are actively engaged in security, resilience, and operational risk.
