ABOUT

Welcome to the most-attended conference in business continuity!!

DRI International, the leading non-profit that helps organizations prepare for and recover from disasters, hosts an annual event designed for the business continuity community, by the business continuity community. It addresses the topics business continuity management (BCM) professionals care about most and providing a first-rate educational experience that informs and inspires. This is a unique opportunity to hear and speak with the leading experts in resilience – real industry leaders from around the globe in both the public and private sectors talking about their actual experiences in planning, response, and recovery.

Since the first event in 2012, DRI’s conferences have grown to become must-attend experiences for business continuity and resilience professionals. The conferences provide real education and networking opportunities, while maintaining a close-knit, intimate environment attendees prefer. Each year, the conference builds on the responses of its participants to curate a program that truly speaks to the interests and needs of experienced business continuity professionals. The event also includes our annual DRI Awards of Excellence Gala, the DRI Foundation's annual Volunteer Day to help our host city, and the DRI Foundation Auction Benefit to raise funds for disaster recovery, education and community resilience projects.

DRI’s conference is the fastest growing and most innovative of any industry event. As a non-profit, we’re different. Our audience is too. They are fellow professionals who may become colleagues, collaborators or employers. They are current and future decision-makers. A DRI event is the best place to make meaningful and lasting connections. They are events designed for our community, by our community, addressing the topics that resilience professionals care about most and providing a first-rate educational experience that informs and inspires.

The annual DRI conference is dedicated to the meaningful exchange of information among professionals in the areas of business continuity, disaster recovery, risk management, crisis management, cyber security and more, across all industries and sectors.

Our non-profit status enables us to deliver a learning-focused environment with a carefully curated program that features senior level speakers who have been sought out and invited to present based on their expertise and experience. Our program is what draws our attendees. In fact, 60% of our attendees hold managerial positions or above, giving them a level of knowledge that fosters in-depth discussions.
