This attracts hundreds of risk professionals from across Europe. In October 2016, for the first time, Malta is hosting this seminar with the assistance of the Malta Association of Risk Management (MARM).

MARM is excited to host FERMA’s European Risk Seminar in Malta for the first time, where Europe’s community of passionate risk specialists and risk leaders will be able share and exchange their diverse knowledge and experience.”
