Risk Live 2020
Risk Live is a pioneering festival of learning, connecting up to 500 industry leaders and disruptors from the entire risk ecosystem. Watch Duncan and his team to unpick the issues of today and answer the complex question – what is the future of risk?
Four key questions financial institutions should be asking their technology partners
Resilience is a critical characteristic of financial systems. There will always be difficulties, just like there will always be another crisis. There are four questions that financial institutions should be asking of their technology partners to ensure their systems are resilient: is your solution integrated, future-proof, focused and transparent?
Risk Live is a great opportunity to discuss latest developments in the risk world, as well as connecting with colleagues from across the globe.
Christian Bluhm, Group CRO, UBS
The industry has been shaken up for a decade and its players are all facing the same issues. It is now more important than ever to share best practices that could also lead to ideas applied to a certain department/domain but that can be scalable to another one.
Cindy Amar, Head of Fixed Income Flow Sales APAC, NATIXIS
Risk.live is a unique event looking at the big picture and the impact on Risk management and Financial markets. Time for incumbents and new players to think about their future business model. Is Risk.live the new DAVOS of Risk Management and financial Regulation?
Albert Loo, Deputy Head of Sales for Global Markets, Societe Generale
Risk Live is one of the few events where banks and the buy side come together to thrash out the issues shaping the future of finance. The topics up for discussion this year look to be right on the money, from the ongoing challenge of alpha generation to the technologies the industry must adopt to succeed.
