CHICAGO, IL, May 31, 2013 – The Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) will host the second annual CBOE Risk Management Conference (RMC) Europe, from Monday, September 30 through Wednesday, October 2, at Penha Longa Resort in Sintra, Portugal.

This highly-acclaimed conference, hosted annually in the U.S. by CBOE, is making its second visit to Europe this fall. For 29 years, the U.S. CBOE RMC has been regarded as the premier educational conference covering uses of equity derivatives to increase returns and manage risks.

The conference provides an ideal setting for institutional users and prospective users of exchange-traded derivatives to network with their peers, exchange ideas and learn the latest information about new trading products and risk management strategies. Session topics are current and relevant, and speakers are selected for their expertise and ability to communicate complex material in a straightforward, understandable manner.

Featuring two tracks of sessions, RMC is the only derivatives conference of its kind, featuring a comprehensive options and futures educational series geared to institutional money managers.
