Online Meeting | January 28, 2026 | 11:00 AM-12:00 PM ET

Want to know more about the FAIR Institute's standards work? Please join our January Open Forum, hosted by Committee Chair Jack Jones and Managing Director Todd Tucker, along with other committee members.

We'll keep it somewhat informal and hope for a good conversation.

From Gut Feel to Good Data: How AI Can (and Can’t) Transform Risk Management

Webinar | January 29, 2026 | 12:00-1:00 PM ET

Artificial Intelligence promises faster, richer insights for cyber risk quantification — but it also brings hallucinations, biases, and overconfidence. This webinar will explore where AI truly adds value in transforming gut-feel estimates into usable data, and where human judgment and validation remain essential. Attendees will leave with practical strategies to integrate AI into their risk workflows without losing rigor or credibility.

Building Stronger Risk Cultures:
Understanding and Applying the Organisational Risk Culture Standard (ORCS)

Webinar | February 18, 2026 | 4:00-5:00 PM ET

In this webinar, ORCS Co-Authors Jack Jones and Dr Gavriel Schneider will provide an inside look at the development of the standard and discuss its practical application for organisations seeking to enhance risk intelligence and decision-making maturity. They will explore how ORCS aligns with global risk frameworks, supports more objective cultural assessments, and can be used alongside quantitative risk models such as FAIR to create a more holistic view of organisational risk posture.

Greater Ohio Chapter Meeting

Virtual | January 21, 2026 | 12:00-1:00 PM ET

Join the chapter meeting to hear the presentation "The Six Levers That Actually Move Risk (Hint: It's Not Just Controls)" by guest speaker: Tony Martin-Vegue!

Tony will share a "lessons learned" from his days at Netflix building and leading the FAIR based CRQ program.  Tony starts from the premise that “controls are just one lever, and often not the biggest one.”  Tony will illustrate how most changes in risk come from forces far outside your walls.
