Pillars Conference Theme

The Art of Risk Taking

2024

Conference Message

This year’s theme, “Maximize the Art of Risk Taking“, addresses the reality of risk in every situation. Although living with risk may seem like simply leaving things to chance, we must learn to distinguish between scenarios that give us time to think things through and those that don’t allow the luxury of time but demand that we make an immediate decision or choice. Rational decision-making in risk situations is both an art and a science, as we will learn from our conference speakers. Their different perspectives and unique insights will guide our exploration of this critically important topic.
