Aon’s Advanced Risk Finance Conference to offer latest insights into managing business risks
Aon’s annual conference to assist businesses in assessing risk.
Aon Risk Solutions, the global leader in risk management, will be hosting its annual Advanced Risk Finance Conference in Melbourne next Wednesday, 9 October.
The conference, now in its ninth year, offers business and the insurance industry an opportunity to keep abreast of the risk financing needs of organisations from financial, regulatory and insurance market perspectives.
According to Steve Nevett, Chairman, Pacific Region, Aon Risk Solutions, this year’s conference theme ‘Risk Knowledge – Industry Advantage’ will offer delegates first hand insights into how risk management and risk financing techniques can create a distinct competitive advantage in their organisation’s given industry.
“Effective risk management has never been more important, especially in uncertain times, with factors such as major regulatory change, persistent global and local economic concerns and a degree of political disruption contributing to a less than positive business environment. The conference will provide invaluable insights into cutting-edge global risk financing trends and solutions – something that today’s business and risk professionals simply can’t ignore,” said Mr Nevett.
Key topics to be covered at the conference include:
- Global and local insurance market update
- Risk management trends and techniques: supply chain and global risk best practice case studies
- Advanced risk management and financing tools
- The great risk financing debate: do risk retention vehicles add value in the current operating environment? What are the options?
The sessions will be delivered by key Aon executives from across the world, in conjunction with some of Aon’s major clients – including UPS and Coca Cola-Amatil – and a range of experts from academia, the insurance industry and corporate world.
Incoming Aon Risk Solutions Australia CEO, Lambros Lambrou, who will be stepping into the role in January 2014, will facilitate the ‘Global Insurance and Reinsurance’ session, which looks at the effects of changes in these markets on major Australian corporates’ risk financing strategies – including the impact of recent global catastrophes. He will also facilitate the ‘Local Insurance Market Update’, which includes speakers from Australia’s major insurers.
Steve Nevett concluded: “There’s a very good reason that Aon’s Advanced Risk Finance Conference is recognised as the premier risk management event in Australasia. We’ve established a reputation for delivering a program that’s expert, relevant and valuable to the Risk professional and this year’s conference will be no different.”
