Ascent is proud to be part of the GPRC Summit Dubai and here&#8217;s why this event matters for every GRC leader operating in the region today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Summit That Reflects the Moment We&#8217;re In<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There&#8217;s a reason the GPRC Summit Dubai has grown into the world&#8217;s largest event dedicated to the integration of Governance, Risk, Compliance, and Performance. The conversation it convenes is no longer optional for organisations operating in today&#8217;s business environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regulatory frameworks are tightening. Digital transformation is accelerating. AI is reshaping how risks are identified and how decisions are made. And across the GCC in particular, the shift toward embedding sustainability, accountability, and compliance within core organisational strategy has moved from aspiration to expectation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 2026 edition of the Summit, themed &#8220;Driving Success: Integrating GRC with Strategy Execution in a Hyperconnected World,&#8221; speaks directly to this moment. Because the organisations that will navigate the next decade most effectively are not the ones that manage governance, risk, and compliance as separate functions. They are the ones that have integrated these disciplines seamlessly with performance and strategy, creating what the Summit rightly calls a &#8220;connected enterprise.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ascent is proud to be part of that conversation as a Silver Sponsor of GPRC Summit Dubai 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What the GPRC Summit Brings Together<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The numbers tell part of the story: 800+ delegates, 500+ private and public organisations, 25+ GRC speakers, all gathered over two days at Sofitel Dubai The Obelisk on 26 and 27 August 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the real value of an event like this is harder to quantify. It is the quality of the conversations that happen between sessions. The CRO from a regional bank and the compliance head from an energy company discovering they&#8217;re navigating the same regulatory complexity. The CISO who finds a framework in a morning keynote that reshapes how they brief their board that afternoon. The peer validation that comes from sitting in a room with 800 people who understand, viscerally, what it means to carry the weight of governance accountability in an organisation that is moving faster than its risk infrastructure was built to handle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year&#8217;s programme covers governance best practice, performance optimisation, risk mitigation strategies, regulatory compliance assurance, and the accelerating role of AI in each of these domains. For GRC professionals operating across the UAE and the broader GCC, the timing is particularly significant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The UAE&#8217;s position as host of COP28 has made ESG integration a national strategic priority. The <a href=\"https:\/\/autoresilience.ai\/solution\/cbuae\">CBUAE<\/a>&#8216;s new regulatory framework has raised the stakes for financial services compliance, including personal criminal liability for management in cases of negligence. SAMA and NCA in Saudi Arabia are conducting increasingly substantive examinations of whether controls are operationally effective, not just documented. And DORA continues to set the international standard toward which the entire region&#8217;s regulatory environment is moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The GPRC Summit Dubai is where the leaders navigating all of this come together to share what&#8217;s working, challenge what isn&#8217;t, and shape what comes next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ascent Takes the Stage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"912\" height=\"1140\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ascentbusiness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-08-21-at-6.20.15-PM-912x1140.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2551\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;re especially proud to share that Ascent&#8217;s own <strong>Shashidhar Vanapalli, MD, Ascent Risk and Resilience<\/strong>, will be joining an expert panel at the Summit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>26th August 2026<\/strong><br><strong>11:30 \u2013 12:10 | Panel Discussion: Challenges While Heading an Organisation&#8217;s GRC Practices<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leading a successful GRC implementation is a huge challenge. In this panel, experts will share insights on how modern GRC leaders can unlock innovation, enhance trust, manage emerging risks, and accelerate performance while leading GRC projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Panellists:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Firas Saifan, Managing Director, CUBES Platform, USA<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vaibhav Javaria, Group Director, Americana Foods, UAE<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bobby Varghese, Group Audit Officer, Abu Dhabi Ports, UAE<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Anthony Stevens, Chief Executive Officer, 6clicks, Australia<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/shashivan\/\">Shashidhar Vanapalli, MD, Ascent Risk and Resilience<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Moderated by:<\/strong> Susan Danial, CEO, Aquilae Consulting, UAE<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re attending the Summit, this is a session worth blocking your calendar for, a genuinely candid look at what it takes to lead GRC in organisations operating at the pace and complexity the region demands today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Ascent Is Here<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ascent has spent over a decade building solutions for exactly the challenge the Summit is convening to address: how do you integrate governance, risk, compliance, and operational resilience in a way that doesn&#8217;t slow the organisation down, but actually makes it faster, more agile, and more confident in its decision-making?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our answer is autoResilience, an AI-powered, integrated GRC platform that helps organisations across banking, financial services, energy, infrastructure, and government move from fragmented, manual programmes to a single connected environment where risk, compliance, business continuity, and audit are permanently integrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The recognition that has followed reflects what our clients have told us: that genuine integration, not best-of-breed tools that don&#8217;t talk to each other, is what moves the needle on resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ascent was recognised as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/posts\/bciawards-thebci-resilience-share-7372242213948354560-lDt6\/\">Best Continuity and Resilience Provider 2025 <\/a>by the Business Continuity Institute (BCI), one of the most credible bodies in the global resilience community. We are ranked as a Leader in Operational Resilience by the Spark Matrix Magic Quadrant. And we are trusted by leading organisations across the Middle East, India, and Southeast Asia, with growing operations across Europe and North America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the GPRC Summit Dubai, we&#8217;re not there to talk about what autoResilience does. We&#8217;re there to engage with the leaders who are carrying the hardest governance and resilience challenges in the region, to understand how those challenges are evolving, to share what we&#8217;re seeing across our client base, and to have the kind of candid conversations that only happen when the right people are in the same room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Shift That Makes This Summit Necessary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There&#8217;s a phrase from the GPRC Summit&#8217;s own framing that captures something important: organisations must evolve into connected enterprises, where governance, performance, risk, and compliance are seamlessly integrated to enable strategic alignment, digital transformation, and data-driven decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Connected enterprise is not a technology concept. It&#8217;s a governance concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It describes an organisation where the risk register is not a separate document reviewed annually, but a live input into every strategic decision. Where compliance evidence is not assembled before an audit, but generated continuously as a byproduct of how the organisation operates. Where the board doesn&#8217;t receive a quarterly briefing that summarises last quarter&#8217;s risk posture, but has live visibility into what the organisation&#8217;s resilience looks like right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the direction every major regulatory framework in the region is pointing. SAMA&#8217;s substantive examination approach. The CBUAE&#8217;s personal accountability provisions. RBI&#8217;s operational resilience expectations. DORA&#8217;s continuous monitoring requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They are all, in different language, describing the same thing: the connected enterprise. An organisation where governance, risk, compliance, and performance are not managed in silos, but integrated into the operating fabric of the business itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The GPRC Summit Dubai is where the practical conversation about how to build that organisation happens. And Ascent is proud to be part of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to Expect from Ascent at the Summit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re attending GPRC Summit Dubai 2026, we&#8217;d love to connect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our team will be at Sofitel Dubai The Obelisk across both days, 26 and 27 August 2026. Whether you&#8217;re navigating the complexity of SAMA and NCA compliance, building a business case for integrated GRC investment, evaluating how AI can accelerate your resilience programme, or simply looking to benchmark your current programme against what leading institutions in the region are doing, we&#8217;re there to have that conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The challenges facing GRC leaders in the UAE and the broader GCC right now are significant. The regulatory environment is demanding more. The threat landscape is moving faster. The board expects more evidence, more frequently, in clearer terms. And the technology available to address all of this has genuinely changed in the last two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The GPRC Summit Dubai is where those conversations happen at the level they deserve, among the people who are actually navigating them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;ll see you in Dubai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Learn more about the Summit: <a href=\"https:\/\/gprcsummit.com\/dubai\/#full_about\">G[P]RC Summit 2026<\/a><br>Explore autoResilience: <a href=\"https:\/\/autoresilience.ai\/\">AI-Powered GRC Software | Governance, Risk, Compliance<\/a><br>Connect with the Ascent team: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ascentbusiness.com\/request-a-demo\">Request a Demo<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The world&#8217;s largest GPRC summit is coming to Dubai.
