Topic: Business Resilience Best Practices and Practical Efforts of Risk Mitigation from an IT perspective 

Contingency planning occurs on a variety of levels. The initial goal will be to normalize the definitions of Disaster Recovery, Business Continuity, and Business Resiliency. Additionally, we will strive to identify the risks to business operations (both natural disaster and man-made challenges) and understand how to mitigate those risks through policy, planning, communication, testing, and maintenance. Finally, we will discuss overall business resiliency and how companies can be prepared for unplanned growth, seasonal increases in workload, and non-natural disaster types of business continuity challenges.

Topic: Virginia Tech Incident: Lessons for Contingency Planners

Tragic and frightening, the mass killing on the campus of VA Tech should be an alarm bell for all security and contingency planning professionals. The easy access to guns in our society makes it all but inevitable that we repeat this gruesome scene time and again.

There are lessons to be learned from this incident to be sure; while some may be new, most are lessons we have all heard and preached many times. In this session, Dean will highlight the history of some mass shooting incidents and the parallels that exist between them; discuss key lessons from these events in terms of emergency response, media relations, and the recovery & resumption of workplace activities; and moderate a discussion among attendees on actions we can and should take now to be better prepared when the next gunman goes on a rampage.

Topic: The Human Side of Business Continuity Planning

Chances are that you are making crisis preparedness and response a key focus of your business continuity planning. But even if your business continuity plan serves to protect the company's physical assets, is it also addressing the human side of disasters? In a disaster or crisis scenario when illness and fatalities are widespread, many employees, partners and suppliers may be unable to work for extended periods of time and there may be significant disruptions to normal operations.

During this lecture, we will share information about business continuity planning and the best practices that can help you stay ahead of the curve.
