Every year, the worldwide ISACA® community comes together at the International Conference, ISACA’s leading educational and networking event. At this global forum, you will discuss and debate the most critical issues facing IT and business professionals, and discover the differing way similar problems are solved around the world. This is an extraordinary opportunity to network with peers and discover the differing ways similar problems are solved around the globe. Attendees can earn up to 40 continuing professional education (CPE) credit hours; 19 for attending the conference and 7 for each day of the conference workshops.

Every International Conference is a unique occurrence—each year it is held in a different geographic location that ISACA serves. Sessions at the 2010 conference will be presented in English and Spanish; all sessions will be simultaneously interpreted into or from English and Spanish. Instead of traditional streams, the 2010 International Conference Task Force (formerly the Program Committee) concentrated on identifying issues and topics critical to you. While you will see a high concentration of the traditional ISACA topics of IT governance, IT audit, information security and risk management, you will also note a series of sessions on cloud computing and business continuity, as well as individual sessions on legal issues, leadership, controls and information management.

Now in its 38th year, the International Conference promises to be an event you don’t want to miss. Learn from industry experts, network with a global group of peers, and get inspired to take your career to new heights!

Keynote Address

Risk Management as a Strategic Tool for Value Creation — The ING Experience

Carlos MurielCarlos Muriel
CEO
ING Latin America

In his keynote address, Muriel will focus on the ING Latin American experience and will review the role that the risk management framework played in the successful implementation of the regional strategy.

Risk management is a crucial process within global financial institutions, and ING Group is no exception. The risk management philosophy has rapidly evolved from its original regulatory compliance and control focus, to becoming embedded in the company’s strategic planning.

Within ING, adopting an evolved enterprise risk management (ERM) practice has brought many benefits including reinforced stakeholder trust, protection of the company’s reputation, improved decision making, sustainable investment performance, and optimized capital allocation.

Carlos Muriel is CEO and chairman of ING Americas insurance and pension operations in Latin America, and is a member of the ING Americas executive leadership team.

Muriel started his career with ING in 1996 as country manager for ING Wholesale Banking in Mexico. In 2005, Muriel was elected chairman and CEO of ING Mexico, responsible for ING’s retirement services and insurance business lines, as well as mortgage and leasing operation. Prior to joining ING Mexico, he was the managing director for ING Financial Markets LLC in New York, responsible for the financial markets operations of the Americas.
