The new Gartner Business Continuity Management Summit puts you on the path of developing and implementing a comprehensive BCM plan with industry-specific best practices, strategies, tactics and actionable recommendations delivered across three tracks and more than 26 sessions, case studies and user panels.

Agenda Tracks

TRACK A: Business Continuity
Continuing business operations and ensuring a stable and available workforce in the face of a disaster are issues most organizations haven't yet considered in their BCM planning process. Nonetheless, they are critical to business resiliency and emergency preparedness. Here are the in's and out's to building a comprehensive BCM program.

TRACK B: Disaster Recovery
As the technology that is used to deliver and manage business process continues to change – ala virtualization – so do the recovery solutions. Discover the trends and best practices for keeping technology and data center services available during major disruptions.

TRACK C: Continuous Availability and Industries
The 24/7 workplace is a reality in many organizations today. Meanwhile, responsibilities, regulations, business process and technologies vary from industry to industry. Planning for recovery is not a one-size-fits-all proposition. Examine new and emerging trends and proven best practices for recovery in a 24/7 environment, as well as industry specific recovery issues.
