So sign up early. Topic: The Interface Between Risk and Ethics The topic of ethics has always been difficult to address because ethics itself is often seen as fluid; it depends on the person, the culture or the situation thereby making it difficult to measure or predict. Risk has many of the same attributes in that it can also be very fluid and difficult to measure or predict. The presentation looks at the relationship between risk and ethics while exploring some ways at placing risk and ethics into a common context where they can be viewed together and likely outcomes measured or predicted.
