Insights From Vantage Councils Help Shape The Conversation On The Inaugural Risk Day 2026 Stage

November 10, 2026. London, UK. Verdantix, the independent technology analyst firm, will contribute its risk management expertise to Risk Day 2026, a new industry event hosted by Volkswagen and EY in Munich on November 10. Luis Niño, Senior Manager, Risk Research, has been invited to speak based on dialogue that began at a recent Verdantix Risk Council meeting, highlighting how conversations between corporate leaders and analysts help shape wider discussions across the industry.

Risk Day is a new initiative from Volkswagen and EY that brings together the global risk community to explore how organizations can improve decision-making, resilience and transformation through effective risk management. The agenda focuses on how risk teams can make better decisions as AI adoption, regulation and geopolitical shocks change their operating environment.

Opportunities like this reflect the value of the relationships created by our work with corporate leaders. Through the Verdantix Vantage Councils, over 115 executives from 42 industries and 23 countries come together to discuss emerging challenges, compare approaches and exchange perspectives on the issues shaping their organizations. Risk Day is an opportunity to take some of those themes beyond the roundtable and contribute to a wider discussion on the future of risk management.

Drawing on Verdantix intelligence, Luis Niño will discuss how AI and geopolitical developments are reshaping the risk landscape. The session will explore how organizations are strengthening resilience, enhancing risk intelligence capabilities and adapting their decision-making processes in response to accelerating uncertainty. The importance of these capabilities is clear, with Verdantix research finding that more than 60% of firms plan to increase their investment in risk intelligence over the next 12 months.

"The combination of AI and geopolitical uncertainty is having seismic effects on the risk landscape, prompting organizations to rethink how they anticipate and respond to a growing range of emerging threats,” said Luis. “Risk Day matters because it brings together leaders from across industries to share experiences, challenge established thinking and explore how the risk management profession can keep pace with what’s happening in the outside world. Through our research, we're seeing organizations place greater emphasis on risk intelligence, resilience and decision-making capabilities. This event is a valuable chance to share those perspectives and contribute to an important conversation on the future of risk management."

We look forwards to joining the risk community in Munich on November 10 and continuing the conversations that started in our Vantage Council roundtables. Interested in joining the conversation?
