<H3>About</H3>
Stress and fear influence our ability to make sound decisions amidst rapid changes and new risks. Trust determines who we turn to for information and guidance. 
The Risk Quotient is an annual conference presented by LRFI to improve the understanding of risk and ground better decision-making. In this year's conference, we will explore the latest academic research and practice surrounding decision-making in the face of fast changing environments and uncertainty.
