In late 2008, the world's financial system was teetering on the brink of systemic collapse. While the impacts of the global financial crisis would be felt immediately, at every level of the economy, it would also send years-long aftershocks through investment, banking and regulatory circles worldwide.
This half day conference on Systemic Risk in the Financial Sector organized by CIGI and George Washington University which will focus on lessons learned and lessons missed as we reflect 10 years after the global financial crisis.
