In June 2014 the Cambridge Centre for Risk Studies will bring together leaders and decision makers from businesses, governments, intergovernmental organisations, academia and NGOs to explore salient topics in risk management. The summit will be held at the University of Cambridge Judge Business School, with a conference dinner following at Emmanuel College, Cambridge.

This year’s summit theme will explore implications of “Big Data” and its opportunities and risks to businesses. The democratisation of information access has provided enormous opportunities for individuals and organisations while creating growing debate on its consequential use. Big data holds potential for research, innovation and productivity, while posing complex questions of ownership, value, aggregation, and the broader benefits to society.
