As risk leaders, we thought that the recent pandemic had shown us that although we strive to manage risk, we live in a world of uncertainty. Events in 2023 have confirmed a world of continued uncertainty, and risk leaders need to understand and wield new tools and knowledge to successfully manage risk. With geopolitical strife, an inflation crisis, and worries about food security, it is critical for risk executives to understand how this will impact the wider economy as well as the risks we are more accustomed to managing.

Format: Interactive sessions

Attendees: Current financial services, risk practitioner leaders, MD/CRO/COO and above working for a bank, insurance, hedge funds, investment management or brokerages. Our application process will validate registrant risk leader practitioner credentials. Appeals by registrants who have been declined on practitioner status will be referred to the PRMIA voluntary membership committee for consideration.

Sponsorship: Packages available, including summit passes, to a limited number of vendors and consultants. Please contact HERE to learn more.
