Dubai will host the ISO 31000 Risk Management Conference for the first time in the Middle East.
The fifth edition of the two-day international event is scheduled on October 12. Global heavyweights have announced their participation for the event. ISO G31000 is the only international risk management standard accepted by most G20 nations.
"Following the success of the first international conference on ISO 31000 held in Paris in May 2012, the fifth conference would address the introduction of risk in all ISO management systems which is going to impact millions of certified organisations worldwide. The second major theme would address the link between risk, uncertainty, performance and decision-making - a challenge for the global risk management community active across all fields, sectors, industries and services related to risk management," said Alex Dali, president of G31000, the international non-profit NGO dedicated to raise awareness on ISO 31000 standard management standard.
On choosing Dubai as a venue for the conference, Dali said: "Following the success of previous international ISO 31000 conferences in Paris 2012, Toronto 2013, New York 2014 and Cape Town 2015, it is important to continue to raise awareness and to promote risk management based on the international ISO 31000 standard in countries which have not yet adopted ISO 31000 as a national risk management standard. Bringing the fifth international ISO 31000 risk management conference to Dubai would encourage the private and public sectors, local and national governmental agencies in GCC countries to refer to ISO 31000 as an independent international guidance standard for risk management, covering all types of risks, for all companies, any size, from any industry or sector."
He added that the UAE has regularly played a significant role in opening GCC countries towards international standards, excellence in innovation and world-class performance. Many leading companies in the UAE have been referring to ISO 31000 for their enterprise risk management.
