The Bed of Procrustes: Philosophical and Practical Aphorisms
I just noticed this on NNT’s speaking engagement page:
International Monetary Fund, Sept 16, 2010, Washington, DC, General Lecture (morning) and Technical Workshop (afternoon) on how to detect tail-fragility.
Really hoping there are audio/video files of NNT’s presentations for the rest of us.
nntaleb: I will be heckled and bled to death by journalists & various detractors Monday 7 PM at the B&N Union Store in NY, http://TwitPWR.com/Jtl/
NNT will be a keynote speaker at this event.
Contingent commissions, climate change, crisis management, global risk, and pending legislation — dubbed the “Shareholder Bill of Rights” — will be just a few of the many topics covered at the Risk and Insurance Management Society’s 2010 annual conference and exhibition, which takes place April 25-29 at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center.
Each year, RIMS attracts thousands of risk and insurance professionals at all experience levels by offering more than 120 sessions that cover critical risk management issues. In addition, the five-day event offers keynote presentations, special events, and an exhibit hall with more than 400 exhibitors.
NNT will be speaking at the Hay Festival in Wales.
