UK Summit: Third Party Risk | Shared Assessments

Where Resilience, Risk, and Trust Converge

Today’s third-party risk leaders are navigating more than compliance–they’re managing resilience across increasingly interconnected ecosystems. At the 2026 Shared Assessments UK Summit, practitioners, executives, and industry experts come together to explore how cyber security, operational resilience, AI, data, regulatory change, and business strategy are converging to reshape modern TPRM. Through two dedicated tracks–Thought Leadership and Practitioner Sessions–you’ll gain practical insights from organizations tackling real-world challenges, from supply chain disruption and Nth-party visibility to board reporting, responsible AI, and emerging regulatory expectations. Leave with actionable strategies, fresh perspectives, and the connections needed to strengthen your program for whatever comes next.
