GFMI’s 2nd Annual Operational Resilience and Third Party Risk for Financial Institutions Conference

GFMI’s 2nd Annual Operational Resilience and Third Party Risk for Financial Institutions Conference will focus on the importance of preparing an operational resilience and third-party risk management strategy in the face of increasing risks across financial institutions. Sessions will address strategies for aligning with the E-21 guidelines, ensuring compliance with OSFI’s requirements by the September 2025 deadline, and transitioning from siloed risk management to a more integrated, end-to-end approach. Discussions will also delve into third-party risk management, emphasizing the importance of vendor assessments and collaboration for seamless resilience across supply chains.

The conference will explore how to enhance cyber resilience amid growing threats, the role of emerging technologies like AI, and balancing innovation with compliance. Additionally, sessions will look at ESG (environmental, social, and governance) factors as well as the importance of aligning resilience strategies with climate risks, geopolitical uncertainties, and emerging technologies. This event will provide actionable insights on managing dependencies, optimizing testing, and ensuring long-term sustainability in operational risk frameworks.
