Topic Day DORA
With our Topic Day DORA at February 11 we are guests at ARAG in Düsseldorf. On this day, we will be focusing on a significant regulatory change: the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) of the EU will become binding from 2025. But what does this mean in concrete terms for insurance companies? How can they prepare for these requirements and ensure operational resilience while maintaining a focus on innovation and customer satisfaction?
In expert presentations, field reports and interactive elements, established and young companies will shed light on practical approaches to implementing the new requirements and increasing operational resilience. You can look forward to presentations by ARAG and Forvis Mazars as well as workshops by Senacor, Kern.ai and PPI.
Note: For all remote participants, only the lecture part will be broadcast. The focus is on the joint exchange on site, which is why we would particularly like to encourage interested members to participate on-site.
The agenda is subject to change.
