Audit & Beyond is now CRX — Connected Risk Experience

We’re proud to announce that Audit & Beyond is now CRX — Connected Risk Experience. Our conference name is evolving to better support its mission: to elevate the professions of audit, risk, compliance, and infosec. Audit & Beyond started 7 years ago as a conference for internal auditors to network and learn about the next-generation technologies shaping the future of the profession. As our customers have evolved, so have we, expanding our product offerings to include expansive and market-leading GRC solutions, innovative AI, and more. As a meaningful moment each year for the audit, risk, compliance, and infosec communities, we’ll continue to raise the bar — and we want to make sure our conference name reflects that.

Introducing CRX (Connected Risk Experience)

The change to CRX is about more than a new name. It’s about showing that everyone has a seat at our table — from auditors and risk leaders to CISOs and beyond. Because connected risk only works when we break down silos. This is something our customers really understand. Tara Mavrovitis, Head of GRC and Internal Audit at Collibra, says:

Rebranding to CRX is an evolution that reflects the growth of our platform, the breadth of our community, and the dynamic future of the connected risk category we are shaping together.

CRX captures our platform’s promise of connecting the risk dots across enterprises, ensuring the business-critical functions we all represent work together to maximize impact. Whether you work in audit, risk, compliance, or infosec, CRX is the conference for you!

Why CRX?

As we further our vision of connected risk management, an approach that brings together audit, risk, compliance, and infosec teams, we wanted our conference name to reflect the same.

• Connection: Our product is built on connecting data, insights, and teams. The conference itself is about connecting people, peers, and partners.
• Risk: Our category, our expertise, and the challenge our audience faces daily. It’s what unites the entire community.
• Experience: This isn’t just a conference. It’s immersive, interactive, and memorable — a hands-on learning journey, not a passive event.

See you in 2026 at CRX!

We can’t wait to return to the Gaylord Pacific Resort in San Diego next year, from October 13-15, for CRX. We hope you’ll join us as we continue our mission to elevate the organizations you serve. Thank you for your support as we embark on this new journey! Let’s shape the future of GRC, together.
