About us

The Risk Banking and Finance Society (RBFS) is a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing the understanding of risk management, finance, and banking. The society serves as a platform for academics, industry professionals, and regulators to collaborate and share their knowledge in these fields.

Our Mission

Our mission is to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange among professionals and academics, and to promote research and development in risk management and financial stability. RBFS organizes national and international events, including the prestigious International Risk Management Conference (IRMC), aimed at bridging the gap between theory and practice in finance and risk management.

Key Events

RBF Society proudly organizes since 2008 the International Risk Management Conference, which has hosted leading figures in finance and economics, such as Nobel laureates and distinguished scholars. The IRMC brings together experts to discuss emerging trends in risk management, banking regulation, and financial markets.

Building on nearly two decades of success of the International Risk Management Conference (IRMC), RBF Society is relaunching in 2026 the RBF World Finance Conference. This conference opens a new chapter in Finance — more inclusive, more global, and more attuned to the pressing challenges of our time.
