#RISK Expo Europe 2026

#RISK Expo Europe is GRC World Forums' conference and exhibition for the people who own risk in their organisations. The 2026 edition at ExCeL London is built to break down the silos between cyber, compliance, audit, resilience and financial crime, with a programme spread over three dedicated stages plus a PrivSec AI Governance stage on day two.

Stages

Each stage targets a different way of owning risk.

• Risk Stage: Zero Trust, geopolitical and supply chain risk, insider risk, board accountability and quantifying risk
• BFSI Stage: operational resilience, DORA and NIS2, AI in the Three Lines of Defence, the Bank of England's Critical Third Parties regime
• GRC Stage: AI-enabled GRC, platform selection, board-ready reporting, policy and culture
• PrivSec AI Governance Stage (day 2)
