ERM Day 2026

Welcome to ERM 2026

For the 11th year in a row, the Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) Day ”By risk managers, for risk managers, with risk managers” will be held on October 15.

The event will take place at Volvohallen next to Volvo Cars HQ in Gothenburg.

Participation in ERM Day 2026 is free of charge for SWERMA members. This year, we are introducing a fee of 500 SEK for participants who are not yet members of SWERMA. As this is a new arrangement, we would like to warmly welcome more people into the network and therefore, offer all non-members who attend this year’s event complimentary membership for the remainder of the year. To continue participating free of charge in future years, participants will thereafter need to be paying members.

Please visit Swerma.se to become a Swerma member.


Who the event is intended for

SWERMA ERM Day 2026 is an event limited to Krets 1 – Risk Managers*.

This is to meet the growing interest while at the same time ensuring that the content and networking opportunities remain tailored to the primary target group through relevant discussions and exchange of experience among people in similar roles.

*Krets 1 – Risk Managers
We have defined a ”risk manager” as someone who ”is employed by an organization and works with the management of its risks”. For us, this is a broad definition that includes a range of titles and responsibilities. For example, in addition to a risk manager, this could include a CFO, Finance Director, Head of Security, Compliance Officer, or Insurance Manager.

The last day to register is the 8th of October 2026.

  • How can the risk function create greater impact when risks are increasing faster than resources?

    11:15 - 12:15

    Many risk functions have taken important steps towards a more strategic role in recent years. As the pace of change continues to accelerate, the capabilities of the risk function also need to evolve.

    In this session, we explore how the next generation of risk functions can create greater impact through the right focus,
    the right capabilities, and new ways of working — including the use of AI to increase capacity without increasing the size of the organization.

He will explore how conflicts are won and lost, how organizations can sustain operations when critical personnel and resources are no longer available, and how leaders make decisions under prolonged uncertainty and pressure. The session will also examine resilience, protection, adaptability, NATO’s evolving role, and the implications of Multi-Domain Operations for businesses operating in an increasingly interconnected risk environment.

    A look at the cyber threat landscape, emerging trends, and how “nice to have” has become “must have.”

    The cyber threat landscape has matured. Ransomware groups operate with sophisticated business models. State-sponsored actors act with patience and precision. And AI is lowering the barrier to entry for anyone looking to carry out a sophisticated attack — against anyone.

    This session provides an overview of today’s cyber threat landscape, the trends shaping its next phase, and how attackers are leveraging AI to increase both the speed and pressure of attacks on our organizations.
