With more risk professionals considering alternative risk transfer (ART) as a means of providing their companies with insurance, RIMS has added a new alternative risk transfer education track to the RISKWORLD programme for its upcoming conference. 

This year’s RIMS is set for 4-7 May in Chicago, where seven sessions will comprise the RISKWORLD ART education track.  

The track will cover captive management, parametric solutions, sureties, limitation of liability agreements, as well as other transfer strategies.  

“Central to risk management’s success is the practitioner’s willingness to embrace the unknown and explore new strategies that can advance the organisation’s mission,” said RIMS 2025 president, Kristen Peed.  

“As a captive leader and someone who has leveraged alternative risk transfer strategies to empower organisations, this new education is an exciting new addition to the already outstanding RISKWORLD program.” 

The RISKWORLD educational programme is developed by risk professionals who volunteer on the RIMS RISKWORLD programming committee chaired by Andrew Shay. 

“RISKWORLD offers exceptional learning opportunities for risk professionals from all industries to more effectively navigate today’s volatile risk landscape,” Shay said.  

“I want to thank the volunteers who serve with me on the RISKWORLD programming committee and congratulate them on developing a comprehensive program that will, without question, support this community’s risk management journey.”
