RAW 2022 — The Psychology of Risk

RAW 2022 fused two streams of risk practice that usually stay separate: rigorous behavioural-science research on cognitive biases in risk perception, and quantitative-risk methods (Monte Carlo, decision analysis, SIPmath). The conference argued the two need to be taught together — a bias-aware practitioner who cannot quantify, or a quant who cannot account for human heuristics, is half a risk professional.

The edition welcomed Michele Wucker (Gray Rhino & Company), David R. Koenig (DCRO Institute), Kurt Nelson PhD (The Lantern Group) and Christian Hunt (Human Risk) on the behavioural side, with Douglas Hubbard, Sam Savage, Max Henrion (Lumina Decision Systems), Tom Keelin (Keelin Reeds Partners) and Graeme Keith (Archer IRM) on the quantitative side.

By 2022 RAW had drawn more than 15,000 cumulative participants over its first three years; this edition alone attracted 4,400+ professionals from 120+ countries. Hans Læssøe, Norman Marks, Grant Purdy, Geoff Trickey and Alex Sidorenko returned.
