Posted on: June 20, 2019

Fusion Risk Management, Inc. (“Fusion”), a leading provider of business continuity and risk management software and services, welcomed a record number of attendees to its third annual client summit, Solutions 2019, held June 9 – 12 in Chicago. The three-day event gathered Fusion’s global clients to examine best practices to help them transform their business continuity and risk management programs, engage with Fusion’s leadership team to understand how they can successfully leverage the Fusion Framework System based on their specific needs, and network with their industry peers to share success stories.

Keynote speaker John Iannarelli, retired FBI Special Agent Executive, addressed the shifting threat landscape businesses now face with a specific focus on cyber threats, and offered proven ideas for how attendees can mitigate these evolving risks. Iannarelli covered common business vulnerabilities and examined how companies can protect themselves by better understanding their risk exposure, effectively managing disruption, and proactively creating contingency plans.

“Businesses today are confronted with an increasingly complex risk landscape that challenges their operations every day. Fusion’s Solutions summit was designed to help our clients better identify and navigate these threats, and we are thrilled at the reception our 2019 event received and thankful to all our global attendees and speakers,” said David Nolan, CEO and Founder of Fusion Risk Management. “As our industry continues to rapidly change, Fusion is committed to empowering our clients with the knowledge and tools they need to mitigate threats, maintain effective business continuity programs, and maximize the Fusion Framework System to meet their current and future risk management needs.”
