Hosted by the FAIR Institute and supported by our partners, FAIRCON21 will bring world-class thought-leaders in information and operational risk management to you to explore the best FAIR practices, progress, and learning. This year’s theme is "Managing Risk and Building Resilience”, and the sessions will showcase Global 2000 companies and US federal government agencies detailing their breakthrough work in business-aligned communication, cost-effective decision-making and, ultimately, managing what matters.
Presentation of the FAIR Awards is a highlight of the annual conference. The awards recognize the deep impact that the honorees have on their organizations by enabling operational excellence and effective decision-making, and in balancing the need to protect their organizations while running the business. All of the winners and nominees of the awards are reflective of the importance of the FAIR Institute's mission in advancing the risk management profession and are individuals who are at the forefront of the quantitative risk management revolution.
You can submit your nominations for three categories, Business Innovator, FAIR Champion, and FAIR Ambassador to recognize business-minded risk officers and FAIR practitioners.
You can read more about the nomination criteria for both categories, last year's winners, and submit a nomination on the Awards and Nominations page.
To be considered for this year's awards, nominations must be submitted by September 17, 2021. Winners are chosen by a selection committee made up of members from the FAIR Institute Board of Advisors.
