Shared Assessments 19th Annual Third-Party Risk USA Summit 2026

March 18-19th, 2026

Grand Hyatt | Nashville, TN

Third-Party Risk Summit

For nineteen years, the Shared Assessments community has gathered the industry’s most dedicated practitioners and boldest thinkers to tackle the risks and opportunities reshaping our world. Across sectors, teams are navigating uncharted territory — accelerating technology, rising expectations, and a risk landscape that shifts with every new decision.

The 2026 Summit in Nashville brings this community together again to compare insights, challenge assumptions, and find a shared rhythm between innovation and dependable risk management.

Expect candid conversation, practical takeaways, and an environment that helps leaders stay in tune even when the tempo picks up.

Attendees will earn 14 Continuing Professional Education / Development (CPE/CPDs) credits by participating in all summit sessions.
