Your Guide To All The New & Interactive Formats At RiskMinds 2009

At RiskMinds HQ, we are very aware that there should be much more to a conference than non-stop power point presentations! Networking, sharing experiences, asking questions, getting feedback are all important elements that make attending a conference a fruitful experience. As a result, we have made extra special effort this year to include many new and interactive formats to ensure you maximise your RiskMinds experience. Here is a guide to make sure you get the most out of all these new formats!

Benefit From Structured Q&A & Industry Discussion

(Tuesday 10am) After an interesting and thought-provoking presentation, it is always a shame when time runs out and you don’t get the opportunity to ask the speaker some important questions. To counter this problem, we have built in special structured Q&A and industry discussion time strategically throughout the agenda so this will no longer be a problem! These sessions are highlighted in light blue on the agenda. Be sure you save up some good questions to make the most of this opportunity!

Cure Your Headaches At The Problem Solving Working Groups

(Thursday 11.35-12.25) The problems being discussed by the presenter may not be precisely those that you are experiencing in your current day to day work. To ensure that you come away from the conference with the answers to the questions you need, we have created these new problem solving working groups! These sessions give you the opportunity to make the most of your time at the conference & pose your related questions to the expert panel & the gathering of like-minded practitioners in economic capital, credit risk, operational risk & stress testing. You can send problems over in advance or ask them on the day.

Benefit From One To One Time With The Experts At The Thought Leadership Risk Consultations

(Wednesday 18.00-18.35pm- pre registration required) These new risk consultation sessions will allow you the chance to meet senior speakers in a 15mins face-to-face session. Ask them about their presentation or their recent work or chat to them about the challenges you are currently facing in risk management. John Hull, UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO & Riccardo Rebonato, RBS will be available to join.

Find Out What Opportunities Are Out There At The RiskMinds 2009 Career Clinic

(Wednesday, 13.30-14.15pm) Have you been wondering how much a risk professional is worth or what opportunities are out there? GRS Risk have kindly agreed to shed some light on these matters. Ken Brotherston, CEO, GRS Risk will be unravelling the changing compensation and bonus structures during the last 6 months; with a focus on what Risk professionals can expect to be paid in 2010. There will be an opportunity to ask questions afterwards.

Understand The Industry Better With The RiskMinds 2009 Risk Managers’ Survey

(Tuesday, 15.10pm) For 2009 we are commissioning a special survey designed to determine what the banking crisis means for tomorrow’s corporate governance, risk management and compliance. Designed and conducted by Paul Moore (The HBOS Whistleblower) & Associates in association with Curzon & Company, this survey will give voice to the largest possible number of risk managers using a short web-based survey that guarantees anonymity. If you are signed up to receive regular email updates on RiskMinds you will receive the invitation to participate.

The result of this survey will be premiered at the RiskMinds conference to ensure that you will be the first people to hear its findings. You will receive an email to take part within the next couple of months and the results will be presented at the conference

Get Privileged Advice At The Ask The Experts Extended Session

(Wednesday, 11.50-13.10) We have dedicated over an hour for you to put your burning questions to 2 of the key financial and economic minds of our times. Ask Nobel Laureate Myron Scholes about his thoughts on risk modelling or ask Roger Bootle (Chief Economist) his thoughts on how whether the economy will improve for 2010. Both Myron & Roger will be on hand for 40 minutes each to ensure you have ample time to ask them all your questions!

Get To Grips With The Hot Topics At The RiskMinds Strategy Labs

(Throughout the agenda) To ensure the key topics are covered thoroughly we have introduced a new concept for 2009; the Strategy Lab. These extended sessions are dedicated to grouping together like-minded sessions and speakers to make sure the session is covered in great depth and from different perspectives. Topics covered include Counterparty Risk, Risk Capital, TTC vs PIT, ERM & Investment Risk. These sessions conclude with a discussion session so that once each speaker has presented their thoughts/research they can get together with the audience to discuss the impact this will have on risk management and answer any questions that arise.

(Wednesday, 18.35pm) Network with other likeminded professionals and join Champagne Roundtables on Market Risk & Stress Testing, Credit Risk & Capital Management. These focussed sessions ensure you meet and chat with people who are working in the same area as you to make sure your discussion is relevant and fruitful.
