Prediction Markets
The Chicago Actuarial Association (CAA), the Midwest Actuarial Forum (MAF), and the Chicago Chapter of the Professional Risk Managers' International Association (PRMIA) will offer a half-day conference on Enterprise Risk Management, Global Risks and Prediction Markets.
This conference will provide an overview of enterprise risk management, discussion of the global nature of risks that we are facing and the role of prediction markets as forecasting tools.
The three consecutive sessions are independent presentations, so you may attend all three or only some of the sessions. Note that the fee is not dependent on how many of the sessions you attend.
This meeting venue was generously sponsored by The Jacobson Group.
PD Credit: Each of the three sessions is eligible for 1.0 unit of SOA-approved PD credit. Watch this space for downloadable materials approved by our speakers.
