Business Continuity Congress 2010
December 9th - Business Faculty Brussels
 
INTRODUCTION

Disasters can take several different forms. Some primarily impact individuals; e.g., hard drive meltdowns; while others have a larger, collective impact. Disasters can occur such as power outages, floods, fires, storms, equipment failure, sabotage, terrorism, or even epidemic illness. Each of these can at the very least cause short-term disruptions in normal business operation. But recovering from the impact of many of the aforementioned disasters can take much longer, especially if organizations have not made preparations in advance.

Not all events can be prevented and some risks may be deemed acceptable, proper planning is essential to maintain or restore services when an unexpected or unavoidable event disrupts normal operations. Business continuity planning includes the identification of vulnerabilities, priorities, dependencies, and measures for developing plans to facilitate continuity and recovery before, during, and after such a disruption.

Building on the success of previous years, the Business Continuity congress is back in Brussels for the fifth year in succession. The Business Continuity congress is the gathering place for the entire IT marketplace involved with disaster–recovery and business continuity planning. A unique event where education and networks converge.
