TRAINING & FORUM DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT & DELIVERY
The Center supports effective practice of enterprise and operational risk management through a variety of educational and training outreaches. Programs can be offered throughout the world and delivered both face-to-face and virtually.
Relevant past initiatives of InterCEP and its staff include the following.
Urgent Threats Forum: Expert-lead briefings and frank senior leader roundtables are the hallmarks of INTERCEP’s annual Urgent Threats Forum. Since 2006, these forums have convened public and private sector leaders in New York, London, Florence, Singapore, and Berlin. While special focuses are tailored each year to address the most current challenges, the goal of the annual forum is to answer three key questions:
What are the threats?
What are their likely impacts?
What can we do individually and collaboratively to address these threats?
Regional Response to Infectious Disease Outbreak: An Urgent Forum: In partnership with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the Regional Response to Infectious Disease Outbreak: An Urgent Forum convened public health officials from New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania, as well as regional organizations in the field, to discuss how best to ensure that the best available data and science inform decisions about response to emerging infectious disease threats. Over 40 targeted officials attended and a summary report that captures key discussion points and next steps was produced.
Election Security Roundtable: In partnership with Deloitte, INTERCEP hosted Beyond the 2018 Midterm Elections: Security Lessons Learned & the Path Forward. Over 50 stakeholders representing local, state, and federal election officials and decision-makers, as well as academia and the non-governmental sector, participated in a roundtable meeting. The goal of the meeting was to provide an opportunity for experts and stakeholders to share experiences from the 2018 midterm election cycle and to discuss current and emerging risks and trends that impact election security.

Forums are held both face-to-face on the NYU campus as well as in an online web conference format.
