2011 Overview

CBOE invites you to attend the 27th Annual Risk Management Conference™.  

The 27th Annual Risk Management Conference (RMC) is hosted jointly by the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), CBOE Futures Exchange (CFE) and CBOE Stock Exchange (CBSX) and has become a leading financial industry event. 

The RMC is an educational forum where end users of equity derivatives discuss new policies, strategies and tactics to manage risk exposure and enhance yields. The conference provides an ideal setting for institutional users and prospective users of exchange-traded derivatives to network with their peers, exchange ideas and learn the latest information about new products and risk management strategies.

Whether you're interested in learning the latest risk management techniques or simply mastering the fundamentals, the Risk Management Conference is a valuable opportunity to learn from some of the top traders and strategists.
