International TPRM Alliance UAE Chapter Executive Breakfast

August 8 @ 9:00 am - 1:30 pm UTC+0

Welcome to the International TPRM Alliance UAE Chapter Executive Breakfast

The International TPRM Alliance (ITA) proudly presents its first-ever physical networking event in the United Arab Emirates—a landmark gathering that brings together leaders, practitioners, regulators, cybersecurity professionals, and governance experts to discuss the future of Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) in an increasingly interconnected digital ecosystem.

As organizations embrace AI, cloud technologies, digital outsourcing, and increasingly complex supply chains, managing third-party relationships has evolved beyond vendor oversight into a strategic business imperative. Today’s enterprises must navigate evolving regulations, strengthen cyber resilience, govern AI responsibly, and build trusted digital ecosystems.

This exclusive executive breakfast has been designed to facilitate meaningful conversations among industry leaders through keynote presentations, panel discussions, research insights, networking opportunities, and collaborative knowledge sharing.

Whether you are responsible for cybersecurity, technology, procurement, compliance, risk management, governance, or digital transformation, this event provides practical insights and valuable networking opportunities to help prepare your organization for the next generation of third-party and ecosystem risk.
