Registrations are now open for the FERMA Seminar 2012 which will take place on 22 and 23 October in the wonderful setting of Versailles outside Paris. The event is free of charge for risk and insurance managers.

The seminar has its own dedicated web page accessible from www.ferma-seminar.eu where the preliminary programme and details of access and accommodation are already available.

The highlight of the event will be the presentation of the results of the 2012 FERMA Benchmarking Survey which is now taking place. The one and a half day programme will also include high profile speakers from industry, public and financial sectors.

One of the opening speakers will be Jean-Pierre Letartre who is Managing Partner for Algeria, France and Luxembourg of Ernst & Young. In addition to his professional work, Letartre is a member of MEDEF, the French association of senior business management. He also heads the Entrepreneur of the Year Award Programme in France and is co-founder of the French Entrepreneur’s Day Association.

The latest information about speakers and sessions will be on the Seminar website and on FERMA’s social media: FERMA Risk Talk group on LinkedIn and twitter @FERMARISK. Please use the new twitter hashtag #fermaseminar.
