Brochure Launch: Could your third parties be your greatest hidden risk?

The brochure for the Future of Third-Party Risk Conference 2026 is now available, and special discounted registration rates are currently on offer.

With more than 20 leading industry experts on the programme, the conference will provide practical insights into the evolving landscape of third-party risk and its growing impact on financial institutions.

As organisations continue to rely on an expanding network of vendors, technology providers, outsourcing partners and service providers, third-party risk has become a strategic business concern. Weaknesses within these external relationships can expose organisations to cyber threats, operational disruption, regulatory action, financial crime and reputational damage.

This conference will explore how organisations can strengthen their third-party risk management strategies by adopting a proactive, technology-driven approach. Delegates will gain practical knowledge, and discover leading practices to help identify, assess and manage emerging risks across the third-party ecosystem.

Key topics on the conference programme include amongst others:

• Identifying and managing risks throughout the third-party lifecycle.
• Embedding third-party risk management within an Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework.
• Understanding the impact of the FSCA Cyber Draft on third-party governance.
• Managing digital assets and payment risks across third-party ecosystems.
• Case Study: When your vendor becomes your liability – lessons from fraud and AML failures in third-party relationships.
• COFI Decoded: From customer fairness to third-party accountability.
• Managing intellectual property risks in AI, cloud and third-party technology partnerships.
• Harnessing AI in third-party ecosystems: balancing innovation with risk.
• Strengthening operational resilience through effective third-party risk management.
• Moving beyond compliance checklists: achieving operational resilience and Nth-party visibility in 2026.

The conference will be taking place on the 22 & 23 September at the Indaba Hotel, Fourways.
