As Houston enters a period of heightened international attention driven by major global sporting events taking place the same week as the Risk Professionals Symposium, campuses across the region and beyond face an important reality: when visibility increases, risk intensifies across the enterprise. From public safety and compliance to reputation, operations, and digital infrastructure, high-profile moments demand coordinated, proactive risk management.
The Risk Professionals Symposium 2026, hosted by Prairie View A&M University, brings together campus risk leaders, law enforcement, athletics administrators, Title IX professionals, Environmental Health & Safety leaders, youth program administrators, marketing and communication leaders, IT and cyber risk experts, and industry partners to examine what it takes to manage risk when attention is amplified and margins for error are slim.
