It's time for the risk management industry to gather for one of the biggest events of the year and time for StrategicRISK to listen to what our readers have to say

It’s that time of year again. Time for the risk management industry to gather for one of the biggest events of the year. This will be my fourth (or fifth?) Airmic conference and the second time that I’ve been to Bournemouth for it.

I remember the last time Airmic gathered the industry on the English Riviera. We couldn’t have asked for better weather. My fingers are firmly crossed for the weather to hold out this year so we can make the most of Airmic’s Summer Barbeque (and garden party) at the Royal Bath Hotel.

Parties aside, for me the conference is a great opportunity to take a breath and catch up with a range of UK risk managers. I like to check that the work we’re doing is hitting the right note with our UK readers.

Make sure you come over to our stand (number 72) to say hello. I’d be delighted to have a chat about the issues you’re facing and how we can help, whether it’s exploring an issue journalistically (and asking some tough questions), researching in detail a particularly hot topic (we have some great resources here for that) or even launching an editorial campaign on behalf of our readers.

You just have to ask—and we’ll try and do our best.

One of the most exciting projects that I’m keen to talk about at the conference is our Career Horizons report (produced in association with Airmic and sponsored by ACE). Through detailed and candid one-on-one interviews with risk management professionals StrategicRISK has produced a route map through the risk management career, from the very bottom right up to chief risk officer.

In the report we explore what steps professionals (young and older) can take to advance their careers in risk management. There are some really useful insights so make sure to pop along to StrategicRISK’s stand to pick up a copy (or download it here).
