Call for presentations for practitioners
Welcome to contribute to Åre Risk Event – On Tour!
What happens if we see the crisis as the beginning rather than the end? When the unexpected shakes things up, opportunities also open up. Crises force us to think differently, act more wisely and build stronger. This year's theme invites reflection, exchange of experiences and new perspectives.
Conference Dates: April 21–23, 2026
Venue: Frösö Park Hotel, Östersund
Theme: Between hope and despair – crisis as catalyst
