Risk communication and consultation are essential for our understanding of risks and risk management, to convey our perceptions of risks, and help key stakeholders tell us what they are concerned about.

Good risk communication and consultation enriches our understanding of the risks we face to enable us to manage those risks more effectively.  These are, therefore, critical components of effective risk management. 

Our topical ‘Talking Risk, Taking Risk’ theme has a main focus on communication and consultation in the context of managing risk. It stems from: 

•  The imminent publication of the ISO 31000 international standard on Risk Management, as derived from our own AS/NZS 4360: 2004 Risk Management standard.

• The forthcoming publication of a joint Australasian handbook on risk communication

Our ‘Talking Risk, Taking Risk’ programme aims to bring people of different disciplines together to present and share new developments in risk management, particularly in the communication and consultation element of the risk management process.

The programme includes keynote presentations, seminars and practical workshops that provide a strong range of information on risk communication from a variety of viewpoints - refer [programme page].  The programme will appeal to those from both the public and private sectors including directors, managers, academics, risk practitioners, decision makers, communications specialists, and all others with a pragmatic interest in managing risk well. 

In line with the objectives of the New Zealand Society for Risk Management, the conference programme will engage and challenge participants to expand their knowledge and practice of risk management for application in the complex world of today and the future. 

Te Papa Tongarewa on Wellington's waterfront provides a wonderful setting for the conference.  And, as ever, there will be informal and formal opportunities to socialise and network with your peers. These start in the evening of Wednesday 5 November with a social event. Bring your family along to watch spectacular fireworks from our harbour-side vantage point.  The conference dinner will be held on the Thursday evening with a highly entertaining theme of ‘illusion’.

Register now to be part of this great learning and networking experience.
