Richard and Norman are planning this event as a Conversation where everyone can take part in the discussion of key topics around the effective management of risk. While the two leaders have experience, insights, and opinions to share, the value for attendees will be enhanced by the active contributions of the attendees.

The timings shown on the timetable below are illustrative only. The amount of time spent on each topic will depend on the flow of the Conversation. Norman and Richard will be available for continued discussions after the formal conclusion at 5:30pm.
