#1 What Your Boss Will Say: “What’s included within the ticket price?”
“For the price of my ticket, I’ll have full access to both days of CeFPro’s Vendor & Third Party Risk Amsterdam, featuring expert-led discussions on DORA implementation, concentration risk, incident reporting, ESG mandates, AI oversight, cloud governance, and fourth-/nth-party risk. The event includes interactive panels and fireside chats designed to deliver clear, practical steps we can bring back to our TPRM program.
There’s also structured networking throughout, breakfast, lunch, and a dedicated drinks reception on day one, giving ample opportunity to connect with senior professionals from across procurement, risk, compliance, and resilience functions.
Beyond the face-to-face experience, I’ll gain access to speaker slides, post-event materials, and the CeFPro Connect platform, where I can dive deeper into research, best practices, and insights on third party risk, keeping us ahead in this evolving landscape.”
#2 What Your Boss Will Say: “Will you learn anything of value that we can integrate into our strategy?”
“The agenda for Vendor & Third Party Risk Europe was shaped from research with senior leaders in TPRM, procurement, cyber resilience, sustainability, and compliance across Europe. It’s built around the realworld challenges we’re facing, the new DORA framework, EU regulatory fragmentation, concentration risks, and the growing complexity of AI, ESG, and cloud ecosystems.
Sessions will provide actionable strategies for implementing DORA rules, tiering critical vendors, embedding ESG and AI clauses in contracts, and building resilient exit and incident response plans. We’ll return with forward-looking strategies and practical tools to enhance our frameworks and strengthen resilience.”
Below is a breakdown of the seniority of the speakers you’ll gain insights from:”
#3 What Your Boss Will Say: “What specific benefits will attending this event bring to our team?”
“This summit offers direct professional development for our procurement, risk, compliance, and IT teams, covering ESG mandates, geopolitics, cloud, AI, contracts, and fourth-party risk.
Group discounts are available, so we could attend together to align strategies and strengthen crossfunctional collaboration. If I attend solo, I’ll bring back slides, summaries, and recommendations to share with the team, and point them to further resources via CeFPro Connect.”
#4 What Your Boss Will Say: “What will we do with you out of the office for 2 days?”
“The venue has full Wi Fi access, and the agenda includes regular breaks to stay connected.
But the value goes beyond staying in touch, it’s a chance to benchmark our TPRM framework against peers, learn how others are implementing DORA, managing AI, and building resilience in supply chains. The insights I bring back will help us modernize our vendor risk strategy and improve future readiness, far outweighing the two days out of office.”
#5 What Your Boss Will Say: “How will you share the knowledge and insights gained with the rest of the team?”
“I’ll take detailed notes and can prepare a concise presentation summarizing key takeaways and suggested next steps tailored to our program.
I’ll also bring back access to speaker slides, interviews, and articles, which we can integrate into team training and our TPRM documentation, ensuring the team adopts current thinking on AI risk governance, ESG due diligence, cloud continuity, and incident response.”

What Impact Does the Changing Trajectory of TPRM Have on the Financial Services Sector?
Anne McGowan, Head of Supplier Management, Lloyds Banking Group
Hilda Andeliz, VP, Third-Party Risk Performance Analyst, Valley Bank
Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) is no longer a static compliance exercise.
Instead, it has evolved into a dynamic and multifaceted discipline requiring constant adaptation in order to keep pace with rapid change. And as we all recognize, in the highly regulated world of corporate finance, fast-moving targets always present unique challenges.
So, as regulatory landscapes shift and risks proliferate, just what will it take for financial institutions to refine their strategies and ensure the maturity of their TPRM programs measure up to those challenges?
In a recent CeFPro webinar, industry leaders Anne McGowan, Head of Supplier Management, Governance & Risk with Lloyds Banking Group, and Hilda Andeliz, Vice President & Enterprise Vendor Performance Analyst at Valley Bank in the US, shared their expertise on navigating the regulatory pressures of TPRM.
In today’s interconnected financial ecosystem, third-party risk management (TPRM) has become a cornerstone of operational resilience. Industry leaders like McGowan and Andeliz see both threat
and opportunity in the requirement to oversee extensive and critical supplier networks.
“We’ve been on a journey developing our TPRM,” McGowan explains. “But the real focus is building more strategic relationships with our most important suppliers.”
Striking a balance between confidence and preparedness
A recurring theme in TPRM is the gap between confidence in existing systems and the reality of regulatory scrutiny. “Sometimes overconfidence comes from having a structured system in place without understanding if it’s robust enough to withstand regulatory examination,” admits Andeliz, candidly.
She points out that many programs rely on static assessments rather than dynamic monitoring to adapt to evolving risks. “Defending a TPRM program requires ongoing oversight, up-todate data, and senior leadership engagement. It’s more than having a nice framework; it’s about showing evidence of risk prevention and management,” she adds.

AI Revolutionizes Third-Party Risk Management: Enhancing Resilience and Compliance
Charles Forde, Chief Operating Officer, NFPE Investment Banking and Global Markets, Nomura
What specific productivity and quality control improvements have you observed from implementing AI in third-party risk management, and how has it enhanced your overall risk management processes?
The productivity and quality control improvements have been significant from the implementation of AI tools, and it has transformed the process, moving it from being largely manual, reactive and backward-looking to being predictive, focused and real-time.
These enhancements to TPRM have also made a significant contribution to the Operational Resilience profile.
Specific improvements to TPRM which have been noted include:
• Enhanced risk assessment and due diligence, (both initially and ongoing), across multiple risk domains and taxonomies. Risk assessment output is based on actual observable data, not on stale questionnaire responses.
• Automated continuous monitoring of risks and deviations from compliance requirements
• Enhanced classification of risks and potential threats. These are aligned to the tiering and criticality of business services and to the third
party suppliers. Therefore this has enabled significantly improved focus on the highest priority risks and highest priority suppliers of services.
• Enhanced Cybersecurity and Threat detection. The AI tools have enabled me to identify anomalies in network traffic, system behavior, or user activity that could indicate potential cyber threats. They have also enabled improved Vulnerability Assessment, by identifying system vulnerabilities by analyzing patterns in historical data and proactively suggesting security measures.
• Improved Incident Response and Recovery due to real-time monitoring across multiple risk domains. This has enabled a swift response to incidents, implementation of mitigating actions and the minimisation of operational disruptions.
• Improved Vendor / Supplier Management process. The enhanced visibility of supplier risks has also fed into the contractual and relationship management processes and has driven a better focus on contractual requirements and obligations from priority suppliers.
