The Copenhagen Convention Bureau has unveiled Copenhagen Risk Navigator, a free, first-of-its-kind digital toolkit designed to help the global business events industry navigate increasing geopolitical, climate, and technological volatility.
Developed in partnership with global consulting firm GainingEdge, the Federation of European Risk Management Associations (FERMA), and the Risk and Insurance Management Society (RIMS), the resource aims to bridge the gap between high-level industry risk awareness and daily practical execution.
The initiative follows recent research indicating that while risk management has rapidly become a leadership priority, most event organisations still lack the concrete frameworks needed to imbed it into their strategies.
To address this, the Copenhagen Risk Navigator introduces 14 specialised risk management tools validated by FERMA and RIMS. These tools are structured to support organisations across the entire event lifecycle, spanning from strategic planning and procurement through to event delivery and post-event reviews.
The resource is designed to scale with an organisation’s experience, offering a five-step Quick-Start Guide for beginners alongside advanced frameworks for established risk professionals.
The project has already garnered widespread industry-wide backing, receiving peer reviews and formal endorsements from major global business events bodies, including PCMA, ICCA, IMEX, AIPC, and EIC.
The Copenhagen Risk Navigator is currently open-source and available for free download to all business events professionals globally.
