The Global Disruptors Forum continues the series of senior level forums first convened in 2002. The forums have always focused at their core on the challenge and opportunity presented by risk and uncertainty. In this increasingly dynamic and uncertain operating environment, the forums have continued to widen their emphasis over the course of over a decade to now encompass the full breadth of risk-related activities across the operations of an enterprise and the wider global community.

Global Disruptors Forum Chair, Bill Raisch, has convened forums in a diversity of world capitals including London, Florence, Singapore, Washington and New York with participants ranging from corporate CEO’s to government Cabinet Secretaries. Consistently, these senior leaders from multi-national corporations, international agencies, national governments and NGOs have come together to exchange insights and hard lessons learned. They gather to collectively problem solve in many cases with the clear goal of identifying actionable strategies to be applied in their own organizations. They also come together to establish relationships and alliances to cooperatively address common challenges.

Raisch is also the founding Director of the New York University International Center for Enterprise Preparedness (InterCEP). This event is not affiliated with New York University. Nonetheless, InterCEP's Global Risk Network initiative is a model of communication and collaboration on shared risks among global corporations and other actors across worldwide operations. This summit will highlight many of the Network's activities. The summit is managed by a distinct private educational conference provider, the American Group of Companies, Inc.
