SUMMARY:BCCM Resilience Dinner
DESCRIPTION:The 2026 BCCM–EML Resilience Dinner brings together leaders from across the co‑operative and mutual sector\, policymakers and partners for an evening reflecting on resilience\, leadership and collective action. \nHosted by EML\, the Resilience Dinner has become a valued annual gathering for BCCM members\, VIPs and invited guests. The evening recognises the close relationship between co‑operatives\, mutuals and community resilience\, and the role of shared purpose\, trust and teamwork in navigating uncertainty and challenge. \nBook your ticket today. \nKeynote speaker\nProfessor Arnold Dix\n \nThe 2026 keynote address will be delivered by Professor Arnold Dix\, Professor of Engineering and former President of the International Tunnelling and Underground Space Association\, internationally recognised for his leadership in the rescue of 41 workers trapped during the Silkyara–Barkot tunnel collapse in India. \nProfessor Dix was contacted directly by the Chief Engineer of India and the Secretary to the Prime Minister of India to assist with the rescue effort. Described as “the tunnel guy” for his expertise in complex underground environments\, he led the tunnel rescue team through one of the most challenging operations of its kind. \nProfessor Dix made a clear commitment that all 41 trapped men would be brought home alive — and that commitment was met. \nHis leadership during the rescue had a profound impact not only on the lives of the workers and their families\, but also on communities around the world who followed the operation closely. The Silkyara rescue became one of the defining moments of 2023\, demonstrating what can be achieved through perseverance\, collaboration and shared responsibility. \nA barrister and scientist (geologist)\, Professor Dix specialises in underground disasters\, fire and life safety\, and structural collapses. He is active globally and is a member of the Victorian Bar\, the British Institute of Investigators\, and the specialist Underground Works Chambers. He is also a visiting Professor of Engineering (tunnels) at Tokyo City University and has served as President of the International Tunnelling and Underground Space Association\, the peak advisory body to the United Nations on underground matters. \nProfessor Dix believes the underground offers adaptive and resilient solutions to many of the challenges facing humanity today. His work combines deep technical expertise with a strong ethical framework and a clear focus on collective outcomes. \nHis guiding principle reflects the spirit of the Resilience Dinner: \n“It’s time the good people of the world claim the future for all peoples and our planet. The Silkyara rescue demonstrates that almost anything is possible when we unite and be nice.”
