2018 Risk Salon: Registration Starts Now!

2018 Risk Salon: Registration Starts Now!

Risk Salon is a series of speaker events that brings in the industry veterans in the risk management field within the financial service sector. We have gathered the top insights, risk expertise from Toronto’s financial community to showcase in-depth knowledge and latest regulations in risk management. 

This year, we present three sessions on the following specific topics: Market Risk – Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (FRTB), Counterparty Credit Risk (CCR) and Operational Risk.

Each of the three sessions will start with a speaker presentation followed by a panel discussion when the audience are welcomed to comment and ask questions. Both risk management theories and real risk problems faced by practitioners will be offered throughout each session. Both experienced elites and fledgling rookies will gain immediate benefit from our event.

It is the NHC’s culture and belief to benefit the public and thus registration for the event is entirely free. Tickets will be limited. Please reserve today.
