Strengthen third-party risk management through scalable controls, AI-enabled oversight, and resilient governance to improve visibility, manage cyber and regulatory risk, and drive enterprise-wide value.Financial institutions’ reliance on third-party providers is expanding rapidly in both scale and complexity, making third-party risk management (TPRM) a critical discipline for operational stability, regulatory compliance, and enterprise resilience. As organizations increasingly depend on outsourced services, cloud providers, fintech partners, and global supply chains, the potential impact of vendor failures, cyber incidents, and operational disruptions continues to grow. This conference brings together senior TPRM and Enterprise Risk leaders to explore how leading institutions are strengthening end-to-end third-party risk frameworks, meeting evolving regulatory expectations, and managing the financial, operational, cyber, and reputational risks associated with complex vendor ecosystems. Through practical sessions and peer-led insights, delegates will examine how organizations are elevating baseline controls and moving toward more mature, data-driven, and continuously monitored TPRM operating models.The GFMI 25th Edition Third Party Risk Management for Financial Institutions conference will explore how organizations are evolving third-party risk management to address growing regulatory scrutiny, escalating cyber threats, and increasingly complex vendor ecosystems. The program will examine practical approaches to building scalable controls, strengthening resilience, and aligning third-party risk management with broader enterprise objectives and business value. As AI adoption accelerates across organizations and supply chains, discussions will also focus on how AI can improve efficiency, monitoring, and decision-making, while addressing the governance and oversight challenges associated with third-party AI use. Through real-world case studies, expert-led panels, and interactive discussions, attendees will gain actionable insights into optimizing vendor risk assessments, improving cyber resilience, embedding stronger governance from onboarding onward, and developing more proactive, integrated, and resilient third-party risk management programs.Topics Covered:Redesign TPRM governance models to strengthen regulatory alignment and enterprise oversight Balance outsourcing efficiency with concentration risk mitigation to fortify third-party resilience Strengthen vendor governance through tiering, risk committees, and escalation frameworks Drive stronger vendor governance with operational risk analytics Optimize TPRM effectiveness through risk culture and maturity frameworks Improve inherent risk assessments across third parties to achieve accuracy and adaptive oversight Best Practices and Case Studies from:Vishal Thakkar, Chief Risk Officer, OCCJennifer Petsu, Senior Vice President Head of Third Party Risk Management, Customers BankMichael Washington, Managing Director Head of Operational & Model Risk Programs- Commercial Banking, Wells FargoJamie Sherman, Head of Third Party Risk Management, Ally Isabel Perez, Director, Enterprise Third Party Risk, USAA Ryan O Rorke, Head of Third Party Risk Management, Dollar BankSpecial discounts available to Financial IT members!
