from the 2018 Committee:

We are excited to announce that we will be back at – The Chicago Marriott Mag Mile on November 12-13! Listening to the feedback from the 2017 conference, we are moving the event to one floor. This will enable a seamless transition from the Great Hall to the exhibitor hall, and to session rooms.

Building upon the success of the past two years, we will feature two days of exceptional educational sessions, an inspiring keynote speaker, and an Exhibit Hall packed with valuable resources.

Our goals for the event include:

• People: Expanding our community base of participants across a broad spectrum of risk management and related professionals.

• Content: Providing the most relevant and impactful content and educational sessions for all levels of professionals attending

• Connectivity: Creating an unmatched networking environment that brings together professionals in a fun, focused and productive way.

• Sustainability: Hosting an event that builds year-over-year momentum with positive returns for our partners and participants in a fiscally responsible way.

Registration for the 2018 Chicagoland Risk Forum is now open. We are working hard to bring you a strong program and networking opportunities. We look forward to your continued support as we strive to build on the successes of prior CRF conferences.

We invite you to review the sponsorship opportunities on the attached sponsor program.

On behalf of the Chicagoland Risk Forum Committee and Chicago RIMS Chapter Board we greatly appreciate you helping us create the industry’s most enriching experience benefiting our entire Risk & Insurance community.
