Now, for some mind-numbing,
irrelevant, useless news from our friends at RiskBitz: RUMUNS
2008 super sizes its programme. Captive.com has learned
that risk managers, commercial insurance executives and brokers are
readying themselves for RUMUNS 2008, the annual convention
of the Risk and Underwriting Managers Society. Around 40,000 delegates
are expected by the organizers of the industry's biggest show, which
this year takes place at the Amarillo Brillo Centre.
RUMUNS 2008 will feature 18,000 expert speakers leading 1,400 educational
sessions as well as a programme of pre-breakfast power presentations,
off-site extra-curricular activities and late night drinking binges.
Must see lunchtime speakers include the hooker at the center
of the Eliot Spitzer scandal talking on reputation risk and the
former Russian president Vlad Putin on succession planning for CEOs.
Entertainment on Wednesday evening will be provided in the form
of a comic opera called "Medicare! Stop It You're Killing Me!!"
performed by the RUMUNS Players.
If you are either brave or demented, follow
this link to the full story. |
