Event History - How Has RiskMinds Become The World's Leading Risk Conference?

RiskMinds is the largest and longest running risk management conference in the industry.

The conference is in its 20th year now and has gone from strength to strength during this time. The first annual event took place in 1994 and was simply titled “Risk”. Over the years “Risk” became “Risk Management” and was recently renamed “RiskMinds”. In addition, after being hosted in a number of European cities (Frankfurt was its birthplace and Geneva has been our most frequented destination over recent years), the event moved to Amsterdam for 2012 and as a result of the success of this move, we will be in Amsterdam for 2013 also.

Over the past 19 years RiskMinds has retained these 3 essential ingredients:

• Senior risk practitioner speakers
• Leading academics
• An in-depth and comprehensive agenda

However, the event has grown in size and status over the years: the event now runs for a whole week with a 3 day main conference, 5 technical streams running in parallel, 4 full- day workshops and a risk regulation summit. It is now also the largest risk management event in the industry with over 500 attendees this year.

In addition to determining the future for risk management at a very high level, RiskMinds also offers in-depth coverage of all the below risk management topics and more:

• Market Risk & Stress Testing
• Credit Risk Modelling & Management
• Liquidity Risk Management
• Economic & Regulatory Capital Allocation
• Operational Risk Management
• Insurance Risk & Capital Management
• Strategic, Regulatory & Enterprise-Wide Risk Management
