The Resilience Roadshow:
Unlocking Operational Continuity with AWS & CockroachDB
May 1, 2025 | 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Downtime is costly. Resilience is critical.
Outages are stacking up—86 per year on average—and businesses are feeling the impact. 79% of companies aren’t ready for looming regulations like DORA and NIS2, and while 95% of executives know their systems have weak spots, nearly half haven’t acted. The risks are clear: downtime costs money, compliance isn’t optional, and resilience can’t be an afterthought.
Join AWS and CockroachDB for The Resilience Roadshow, a hands-on event for IT leaders, architects, and engineers looking to build unbreakable systems. Get expert insights, tackle real-world challenges in technical workshops, and connect with industry leaders. Don’t wait for the next outage—register now.
