As Irish businesses navigate an increasingly complex operational landscape - ranging from cyber incidents, disinformation campaigns, reputational crisis to regulatory pressures and supply chain shocks - proactive crisis preparation has never been more critical. Traditional risk management approaches are no longer enough; leadership teams must cultivate operational resilience, rapid-response capabilities, and robust governance frameworks. Ibec is hosting this half-day event to equip our c-suite members on navigating crises.

Featuring expert insights from leading legal, PR, and risk specialists, this forum moves beyond theoretical concepts into real world crisis scenarios, board level legal obligations, and long-term reputation restoration. Designed for C-suite executives, board members, legal counsel, this interactive session provides practical tools to safeguard your organisation's operations, legal standing, and public trust.

  • Run the Simulation: Work through real-life scenarios with Martina Quinn (CEO, Alice PR) and stress-test your internal response.
  • Know Your Legal Risk: Hear directly from Paul Convery (Litigation Partner, William Fry) and Leo Moore (Partner and Head of Technology, William Fry) on legal obligations, whistleblower rules, and board penalties.
  • Protect your Brand: Learn post-crisis restoration models from top communications strategist Paddy Hughes (Executive Director and Co-Owner, Drury Communications).
