Welcome word from the president

Isn’t the world an exciting place today? Have there ever been better opportunities for risk managers? We are in a period of so much change. This makes our skills invaluable for our organisations as we enter a new dimension in risk.

FERMA has chosen Aim for the future as the theme for our 2019 Risk Management Forum. The topics that we have chosen will affect us all: the future of the European project, the complex trade environment, technology and security, sustainability and the future of insurance.

Our discussions will take place at a European and international level with representatives from European and international institutions and organisations. Keynote speaker, MEP Guy Verhofstadt, former Prime Minister of Belgium and now candidate for President of the European Commission, will give us forthright insights into current European issues, and the current political, social and business landscape.

With these challenges, come opportunities and innovative developments. We will look at how the risk management community is responding to the future with confidence to support this transformation. At the cutting edge we’ll hear about AI in the field of risk management, and exhibitors will showcase their most innovative solutions.

This year we offer free attendance to qualified risk managers. Invite your risk manager colleagues and contacts. Please check the register page to confirm your eligibility. And don’t forget, rimap certificate holders qualify for CPD points. Join us in Berlin, where technology and innovation are drivers of change. It is the perfect place to aim for the future.
