Telling compelling stories is vital and if you have “a great risk management story to share,” submit your proposal today.
2024 AFERM Summit Theme and Tracks
This year’s Summit theme is “ERM, Where Government Decision-Making and Strategy Meet” . The Summit sessions and workshops will support the following tracks:
- Integrating ERM into the Larger Agenda: ERM is a highly-interconnected discipline that extends far beyond the traditional compliance, reporting, and operational areas. This track explores how ERM can and should be integrated into critical areas of your organization ultimately becoming intrinsic to the culture of your organization. How can ERM leaders collaborate with different groups across the enterprise to ensure successful integration of ERM concepts? Session topics might include ERM integration with diverse areas such as legislative affairs, budget formulation & execution, labor relations, strategy and performance setting/monitoring, audits, general counsel, public affairs, continuity of operations, and supply chain and vendor management…just to name a few.
- Delivering Value to Decision Makers: Federal leaders are challenged by an ever-increasing mosaic of priorities and obligations alongside core mission delivery. This track explores what information decision makers value and how ERM is uniquely positioned to deliver.
- Tools and Techniques (application vs. theory): As the risk environment evolves, the tools and techniques agencies use to monitor and evaluate risks need to evolve with it. This track explores what tools and techniques government ERM leaders are using to effectively manage their ERM programs.
