Contingent commissions, climate change, crisis management, global risk, and pending legislation -- dubbed the "Shareholder Bill of Rights" -- will be just a few of the many topics covered at the Risk and Insurance Management Society's 2010 annual conference and exhibition, which takes place April 25-29 at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center.
Each year, RIMS attracts thousands of risk and insurance professionals at all experience levels by offering more than 120 sessions that cover critical risk management issues. In addition, the five-day event offers keynote presentations, special events, and an exhibit hall with more than 400 exhibitors.
Keynote presentations will come from some of the world's top authorities on leadership and business strategy, including:
Gary Loveman - Loveman is a former associate professor at Harvard University's Graduate School of Business Administration. He joined Harrah's Entertainment as chief operating officer in 1998 and drew on his extensive background in retail marketing and service-management to develop and implement the gaming industry's most sophisticated and successful loyalty program, Total Rewards.
Nassim N. Taleb - Taleb is a scholar of risk and model error, literary essayist, and derivatives trader. He is known for a multidisciplinary approach to the role that rare, high-impact events play on shaping economics, philosophy, finance, engineering, and history. He is author of the New York Times best-seller The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable, which was hailed by the Times as one of the 12 most influential books since World War II.
Rebecca Ryan - Ryan is an energetic entrepreneur and the founder of Next Generation Consulting (NGC), a research and consulting firm that helps clients engage the next generation.
