Business continuity professionals help companies plan for everything from cyberattacks to supply chain disruptions to natural disasters. In the private sector, they fill a role loosely analogous to public sector emergency managers. In this session you will learn about the Business continuity function, its history, and how it contributes to the overall resiliency of an organization. Speakers Russ Laughlin and Dan McCarter of the Colorado Rocky Mountain Chapter of Association of Continuity Professionals will discuss the benefits of partnerships between private and public sector practitioners and how they can strengthen overall community resilience.
