FM – ARISE US Conference.

When leaders from the private and public sectors unite around a shared purpose, goals that were once theoretical suddenly seem achievable. The ARISE US 2025 conference, hosted in October at the FM Research Campus and the Renaissance PVD Downtown Hotel, centered on reducing risk and building resilience.

The United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) established ARISE to bring policymakers and innovators together to help create risk-resilient societies. FM’s Dr. Lou Gritzo opened the conference with a keynote on how engineering-based loss prevention and applied science can scale resilience—setting a compelling tone for the panels, workshops, and discussions that followed.

Bolt created a video recap that captures the energy and purpose driving the ARISE US 2025 convening, highlighting how leaders from both private and public sectors came together around a shared mission of resilience. The result is a polished, narrative-driven video that showcases the energy, insights, and collaboration that shaped the conference.
