The leading festival of risk
It is a great opportunity to discuss the latest developments in the world of risk and connect with colleagues from across the globe.
Connectivity is the most important thing and the fact it's Risk Live Europe, means I get to meet a lot of people that really matter.
It is a brilliant conference—really, really well organised, with ample opportunities for networking and sharing ideas on how to deal with the issues we face on a daily basis.
Interesting and important discussions about how all of these different risks in a rapidly changing world are not separate from each other, but interconnected.
What’s new for 2026?
Risk Live Europe keeps pushing the conversation forward and 2026 is no exception. This year’s event introduces sharper formats, deeper roundtables and fresh perspectives to help risk leaders cut through complexity and challenge the status quo.
Tailored to your institution's risk structure
The Risk Live Europe agenda mirrors the risk structure of your institution and focuses on four key pillars: credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk, and operational risk.
Each will have a dedicated stage, and your team can select your preferred risk type using our interactive agenda, ensuring you access the deep, technical insights needed to stay ahead in today’s fast-moving environment.
