# GRF Council Hosts Third-Party Resilience Exercise

The GRF Business Resilience Council will hold its complimentary virtual “Disconnect / Reconnect” tabletop exercise on November 17, 2026, at 1:00 PM ET; the session is expected to run for three hours. Using live, anonymous polling, participants will work through decisions about disruption of a critical third-party service, including when to disconnect, how to sustain operations, and what evidence to require before reconnecting. The event is not a government solicitation or contract opportunity, but it offers contractors and procurement teams a practical forum for examining supplier-continuity risks.

- Organizations that rely on critical third-party services can use the scenario to evaluate how service disruption could affect operations and their continuity plans.
- Procurement and supplier-risk teams may find the exercise useful for considering disconnect and reconnection decision criteria and the evidence needed to restore service.
- The event is complimentary and upcoming; details are available at https://t.co/djL0wXIF9w.
