More than 1200 risk professionals had already registered for the 2011 FERMA Risk Forum in early September, including nearly 400 risk managers.

Risk managers make up 37 percent of the total participation expected so far. Sweden, France and Belgium are the associations sending the largest numbers of risk managers, but several non-members such as Austria, Luxembourg, Malta and Poland will be modestly represented.

Insurers are the next largest group of registrations, followed by the general category of ‘other’, then brokers and consultants. Many of the insurers and brokers are London based, tipping the UK attendance to 19 percent of the total, followed by Sweden, France and Germany.

With online registrations still open (until 18 September) and others expected on site, it’s safe to say that the 2011 Stockholm Forum will comfortably exceed previous the previous record attendance.

Online registrations for the FERMA 2011 Risk Management Forum will close on Sunday 18 September. If you haven’t registered, why not do so now at https://www.ferma-forum.eu/site/-Registration,2082-

As a newly appointed Board Member of AIRMIC in the UK, I am delighted to be joining and supporting the FERMA Risk Management Forum 2011 in Stockholm. Corporate Risk and Insurance Management today is experiencing a period of unprecedented challenge and change. The 2011 FERMA Forum provides a truly unique opportunity to meet and share best practice and current thinking with key decision makers across our industry.
