For the program and the composition of the group of participants, we work together with partners. The partners make this event possible, and they lift the information quality to the next level. Therefore, we like to thank our partners for their support.
Pre-event interviews
In the run-up to the event, we will publish pre-interviews here with speakers. They introduce themselves, we discuss the major opportunities and challenges they see in their work, as well as what they expect from this event.
Participants
With our Leaders in Risk-Event, we aim to bring together high-level speakers and attendees to facilitate the sharing of knowledge and ideas.
Therefore, this event should be of interest to (top) Risk Management Professionals, but also for leaders who, while not engaged in risk daily, view it as a crucial element in strategic management. We expect to welcome 100+ attendees from 50+ organizations, both public and private. Our event is driven by a clear mission.
First, we want to bring the (financial) professionals in the Risk Management space together and encourage knowledge sharing and exchange of best practices.
Secondly, we hope to add value in the deepening of cooperation between the different stakeholders, by facilitating the forming of new relationships and to deepen existing relationships.
Finally, above all we want to achieve that all participants will travel home after the conference full of energy and enthusiasm.
