In addition to its global perspective and impact, the conference will focus on a plethora of issues vital to today's complex and uncertain environment. Sectors which will receive special focus include Banking, Asset Management, Energy and Diverse Industries.

Areas of focus which front-line practitioners will discuss and debate include:

· Regulatory environment
· Behavioral risk
· Risk/return dynamics
· Capital management
· Modeling
· Information technology
· Climate, sustainability and alternative energy
· Market risk
· Credit risk
· Liquidity risk
· Stress-testing

The conference will provide you with the opportunity to attend a full day of seminars focused on global topics, technical skills, practical experience and the latest theory in selected risk management disciplines. You will also experience two full days of general and concurrent sessions, including keynote presentations and panel discussions, a Gala Dinner and useful exhibits. Watch for the many opportunities to meet and exchange ideas and experiences as well, with PRMIA and non-PRMIA risk professionals from around the world. Don't risk missing this inaugural conference.
