Chicagoland Risk Forum 2018 | RIMS | 12 November 2018 | Chicago Marriott Magnificent Mile, 540 N Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL 60611, USA

Thank you to those that sponsored, had exhibit booths, and attended the 2017 Chicagoland Risk Forum. An important part of events is the feedback we receive, which the planning committee greatly appreciates. We heard you, and in response we are pleased to announce that this year the entire conference will be on one floor for the first time! In addition, we are excited to debut a theme: Empowering Risk Management. In adopting this theme, we embolden the brand of the Chicagoland Risk Forum and increase the value we deliver to the Risk Management community.
