In a Time of Uncertainty, Resilience Is Everything
Thursday 4 February 2027, 14:30-17:30 / CC5.3
The Control Rooms Summit explores how critical control environments can strengthen resilience against disruption. Industry experts and practitioners will share practical insights into technology, cybersecurity, operational continuity and the people who keep essential services running.
Control rooms are at the heart of the critical services on which society depends. From essential infrastructure to emergency response, their ability to operate reliably is vital – particularly at a time of growing geopolitical uncertainty, cyber threats and operational pressures.
Yet resilience is about more than protecting technology against disruption. It requires a coordinated approach to infrastructure, operations, people and planning, often against a backdrop of constrained budgets and increasingly complex threats.
The Control Rooms Summit at ISE 2027 will explore how organisations can strengthen resilience across every aspect of critical control room operations. Bringing together practitioners, technology suppliers and industry experts, the Summit will share real-world experience, best practice and practical approaches to maintaining continuity when it matters most.

Building resilience into critical operations
The Summit will examine the challenges and opportunities involved in creating control rooms that can withstand disruption, adapt to changing circumstances and continue delivering essential services.
Key themes will include:
-
Location and infrastructure: Ensuring continued accessibility, reliable utilities and facilities capable of supporting critical operations.
-
Technology and cybersecurity: Building resilience through secure networks, redundancy, cloud strategies and dependable systems.
-
Operations and leadership: Strengthening contingency planning, disaster response, change management and operational readiness.
-
People and performance: Supporting control room professionals through effective training, workplace design, wellbeing and decision-making under pressure.
The programme will also address emerging challenges and opportunities, including the impact of artificial intelligence, cloud versus on-premises infrastructure and remote working.
Practical insights from across the industry
Combining practitioner and supplier perspectives with interactive knowledge-sharing sessions, the Control Rooms Summit will provide an opportunity to exchange experiences, challenge assumptions and identify practical improvements.
Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of the risks facing critical control environments, priorities for strengthening resilience and the questions that should guide future technology and infrastructure investment.
The Summit is produced in association with the International Critical Control Rooms Alliance (ICCRA), which works to advance excellence in critical control rooms through industry collaboration and the sharing of best practice.
Following the event, ICCRA will publish a white paper drawing on the Summit's discussions and outcomes. Attendees will receive advance access ahead of its general publication.
Join the Control Rooms Summit at ISE 2027 to connect with industry peers, explore new approaches to resilience and help safeguard the critical services on which we all depend.
The conference is chaired by
Peter Prater, Chairman of ICCRA.
