Program Topic: "Identifying and Managing Technology Risks"

With the successful transition of the industry beyond the initial year 2000 date change, technology continues to grow as an increasingly complicated operational risk area that requires new knowledge and expanded risk management techniques. While not ignoring traditional risks, we believe the 2001 Risk Management Planning Seminar can provide the most value to the industry by providing senior bank management with an update on the risks/benefits of these emerging technologies and the evolving regulatory responses.
