Day One Keynote Speaker Confirmed
Pete O’Dell to Keynote at the 2019 Continuity Insights Management Conference
Emerging Technology Impact: The “Need-to-Knows” for Business Continuity Professionals
5G, IOT, Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain sensors, drones, robots, and more… these technologies are no longer emerging but are embraced by the business and as a result rapidly crossing our business continuity threshold. Operational use demands a continuity plan as they are deployed, and many can enhance response greatly. What are the various short and long-term implications, what should be the priorities for business continuity professionals, which technologies matter, and when/how will it impact your BCM program? Information Technology (IT) is now at the forefront of Operational Technology (OT), raising recovery risk to even higher levels.
Day Two Keynote Speaker Confirmed
Jim Stickley to Keynote at the 2019 Continuity Insights Management Conference
Fraud is the New “F” Word
Jim Stickley has stolen credit cards, hacked Social Security numbers, robbed banks, and created fake ATMs. He has broken into armed government facilities and has stolen from teenagers. He is an identity thief, but he is no criminal. Fortunately for all victims involved, Stickley is a cyber security expert with over 20 years in the industry who was hired to perform these attacks by corporations testing their security, news agencies investigating security concerns, and other media outlets interested in knowing just how easy it is to commit identity theft. His job is to find security flaws before the real criminals find them and warn people and organizations about what they can do to protect themselves.

Grab a beignet, listen to live jazz, ride a streetcar, or hop into a parade, you never know what you’ll experience in the vibrant culture and excitement of New Orleans just outside our front door.IMPORTANT:
It has come to our attention that several companies inaccurately representing themselves as our “housing vendor” are contacting individuals in the Continuity Insights Management Conference community soliciting business. Specifically, they will offer to make hotel reservations within the Continuity Insights block on your behalf, or even offer you a discount from the Continuity Insights rate.
Continuity Insights LLC is not utilizing the services of this or any housing service for the Continuity Insights Management Conference. Reservations for the 17th Annual Continuity Insights Management Conference should be made directly with the Hilton Riverside Hotel, either by phone or via our web reservation system.
