Business Continuity Management & IT Disaster Recovery
29th -30th April 2026
Dusit Thani Hotel, Dubai - U.A.E.
This highly interactive training course in Dubai is about building and improving resilience in your organisation; it’s about identifying your key products and services and the most urgent activities that underpin them and then, once that ‘analysis’ is complete, it is about devising plans and strategies that will enable you to continue your business operations and enable you to recover quickly and effectively from any type of disruption whatever its size or cause. It gives you a solid framework to utilise in times of crisis and provides stability and security (Business Continuity Institute).
In fact, embedding BCM & DR into your organisation is proven to bring additional benefits to you and your business. The key to a swift recovery is time; the organisation which recovers in the shortest possible time will mitigate its losses to the optimum.
