Dear Regional Directors,
When risks escalate, business continuity depends on more than having a contingency plan. This event will explore how companies in the UAE can protect contracts, supply chains, people, assets and cash flow during periods of disruption.
Keeping Business Moving When Risk Escalates: Contracts, Logistics and Resilience in the UAE
Date: Tuesday, 15 September 2026
Time: 9am-11am
Location: SO/ Uptown Hotel, Dubai (location pin)
Experts will discuss force majeure, sanctions, liability allocation and contractual preparedness, alongside logistics resilience and alternative supply routes. The panel will also address the role and limitations of insurance in managing political violence, war and transit-related risks. A practical focus will be placed on what companies should do before disruption occurs and which decisions need to be taken early.
Regional Directors will leave with a concrete 30-day priority list to strengthen resilience across legal, operational, financial and risk-management functions.
