Now in its sixteenth year, the CW International Conference 2025 will delve into the theme of Resilience with a strong focus on the technological aspects: exploring the resilience of business processes; strategic risk management; the robustness of underlying technologies, and the impact of technology failure. The event will examine how emerging technologies, and digital infrastructure can recover from disruptions and build safeguards for the future. Key factors driving the need for resilience will be explored, including geopolitical tensions, climate change, and the increasing interconnectedness and complexity of critical industries.

The conference will address challenges specific to technological resilience, such as balancing long system lifecycles with the risk of obsolescence, managing decentralised systems while ensuring a coordinated response to incidents, and leveraging advanced solutions to enhance preparedness.
