The Business Risk Innovation Forum convenes the leaders shaping how business navigates an increasingly volatile global landscape.

Hosted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation, the Business Risk Innovation Forum is where corporate security chiefs, risk-intelligence professionals, policymakers, and innovators examine a fundamental shift: risk is no longer external to business. It is now central to strategy, leadership, and value creation. 

New for 2026, the Forum brings together the Business Risk Innovation Forum and the Intelligence, Imagination, and Innovation (I3) Summit— combining their communities and perspectives to integrate intelligence, foresight, and innovation directly into business decision-making.

As geopolitical instability, AI-enabled threats, and operational disruptions accelerate, organizations must move beyond awareness, toward action. The Business Risk Innovation Forum is designed for leaders who need to translate risk into real-time business decisions. 

What You'll Gain:

• Get ahead of the curve: Dive into the biggest forces shaping risk today - AI as critical infrastructure, shifting geopolitical risks, and the rise of unconventional threats.
• Discover what's next: Be the first to hear new initiatives from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation's Global Threats Initiative.
• Shape the future: Join forward-looking conversations on where the risk intelligence profession is headed and what it will take to stay resilient. 
• Build trusted alliances: Connect with peers and experts to strengthen pre-crisis networks across industries. 

Through insightful panels and robust audience Q&A, we'll explore what's needed to turn intelligence into action and embrace innovation. There will be several networking opportunities interspersed throughout the day, giving attendees the chance to engage directly with speakers and peers, turning new insights into new collaborations. 

At the 2025 Business Risk Innovation Forum, over 300 leaders from business, government, and academia explored how to build resilience in a volatile world. Highlights included: 

• Risk is now a strategic function: Leading organizations are embedding security and intelligence into enterprise decision-making, not treating it as a support function
• Second- and third-order effects matter most: Companies must move beyond headline risk and understand cascading impacts across supply chains, markets, and reputation
• AI is accelerating the threat landscape: From deepfakes to personalized targeting, AI is lowering the barrier to attack and increasing exposure across organizations
• Executives are increasingly targeted: CEOs and senior leaders are becoming focal points for physical, digital, and reputational threats
• Public-private collaboration is essential: Businesses and government are confronting shared threats and must work together to respond effectively
