Event Insights

The Crisis Management Conference 2026 Spring, organized by Shinken Shimbun and Risk Measures.com, is themed around confronting a pivotal year for risks—a year that encapsulates geopolitical tension, rapid advancements in AI and quantum technology, frequent disasters driven by climate change, and the reconstruction of supply chains. The environment in which businesses operate is not only becoming more complex but also increasingly uncertain.

These challenges are not fleeting but signify a structural shift that undermines the foundations of society and business. At such critical junctions, merely implementing formal “risk measures” is insufficient; what is required are crisis management strategies that deliver effective, actionable responses into the next generation. Strengthening resilience, enhancing training and exercises, responding to digital risks, redesigning BCP, and transforming organizational culture are vital steps. Companies must move beyond simple defensive measures and instead proactively adapt to changes and create systems that support sustainable growth.

The 2026 Spring Crisis Management Conference aims to aggregate insight and innovative approaches across industries, creating a platform that encourages action towards the future of crisis management.
