The 2025 De-Riskathon: How You Can Turn Hidden Risk Into Strategic Advantage

Rethink Risk. Redefine Safety. Reclaim Control.
De-Riskathon 2025: Turning Hidden Risk Into Strategic Advantage
October 14–16, 2025 | 100% Virtual

We created a De-Riskathon for you! 
Join Acrisure for a high-impact, three-day, virtual event designed to help you uncover and manage hidden risks, then turn them into strategic advantages. You’ll learn from professionals in safety culture, leadership, litigation defense, operations, mental health, insurance strategy, and more. 

Are Hidden Safety Risks Undermining Your Business?
A hidden safety risk is a hazard that exists within your organization but isn’t immediately obvious until it’s too late and someone gets hurt, productivity is lost, or liability strikes. These risks can stem from blind spots in processes, gaps in communication, complacency, or disconnects between leadership and frontline employees. Even the most well-managed organizations can be blindsided by these threats, which is why proactively identifying and addressing them is critical to long-term operational resilience and risk management. 

Hidden safety risks often remain undetected because they are:

  • Culturally accepted (e.g., routine workarounds that bypass safety protocols),
  • Camouflaged by past success (e.g., “we’ve always done it this way”),
  • Buried in complexity (e.g., system gaps, automation errors, unclear responsibilities and policies),
  • Driven by human factors (e.g., fatigue, distractions, or production pressure).

These hidden risks often go unnoticed or unaddressed until they cause real harm. To better understand how they show up in day-to-day operations, consider the following real-world examples:

  • A technician disables a safety sensor to keep production on schedule.
  • A confusing alarm system delays emergency response.
  • Employees operate without adequate process or systems
  • Departments fail to share important safety information
  • Employees don’t wear PPE consistently because nothing bad has ever happened in the past without it. 

Staying ahead of the next incident requires proactive tools that help your organization identify hidden hazards, analyze root causes, and take corrective action before harm occurs. 

Featured Speakers Include:

Robert Sumwalt, Former Chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB)
Robert Sumwalt will share how leadership’s response after a tragedy can impact recovery, trust, and future resilience. You will hear about what worked and what did not during some of America’s most high-profile disaster responses and how you can apply the successes to your organization’s critical responses.

Jake Mazulewicz, Ph.D.
After Action Reviews (AARs) have been used for over 40 years in the military, emergency fire and rescue services, and other high-hazard industries. Research shows that After Action Reviews (AARs) can increase team effectiveness by 25%. Learn how to conduct efficient and comprehensive AARs that can help your organization emerge stronger.

Garrison Wynn, Comedian and Global Keynote Speaker
Intentional safety leadership not only helps prevent injuries but can improve morale and drive business performance. Garrison will bring humor and real-world insight to help you build a culture where risk is managed and results are delivered to the bottom line.

You’ll receive practical insights to help you:

  • Identify and address hidden risks
  • Align leadership and frontline employees
  • Drive measurable improvements in safety, productivity, and profit

Join us to learn how you can move beyond compliance, recognize unseen threats, and make safety a competitive advantage.
