About This Show

AI-drafted summary

RISKWORLD is the annual conference and exhibition presented by RIMS, the risk management society, and is billed as the largest gathering of risk management professionals and industry-leading companies in the world. The 2027 edition takes place April 18–21, 2027, at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisiana. Launched in 1963 as the RIMS Annual Conference & Exhibition, RISKWORLD attracts some 10,000 risk and insurance professionals at all experience levels, business executives with risk management interests, brokers, insurers and service providers for learning and networking.

The event is built around three pillars — education, a dynamic Marketplace, and networking. The four-day RISKWORLD experience offers more than 150 learning opportunities, keynote presentations, special events, and an expansive Marketplace with hundreds of solutions providers, all with opportunities to engage the risk community.

If you are tasked with providing risk management services at any level, RISKWORLD is designed for you. Attendees typically include risk managers, C-level executives, treasurers, finance directors, and professionals across claims, security, IT, internal audit, legal/compliance, operations, brokerage, and insurance. It is worth attending for the concentration of decision-makers, the breadth of education on trending topics, and the scale of the exhibition floor.

Show Highlights

RISKWORLD combines main-stage keynotes, education sessions across numerous tracks, and an expansive exhibition Marketplace.

  • Education tracks: Sessions explore the latest trends and strategies in risk management, including artificial intelligence, sustainability, and enterprise risk management. Additional tracks span areas such as Alternative Risk Transfer, Corporate Sustainability/ESG, Cyber Risk, and more.
  • Marketplace: A large exhibition floor bringing together hundreds of solution providers, plus networking lounges, case-study stages, and special events.
  • Signature networking: Opening receptions, community service projects, chapter and regional receptions, fun runs, and golf and pickleball socials are recurring features of the RISKWORLD program.
  • Marquee keynotes: Recent RISKWORLD editions have featured high-profile main-stage speakers. For example, the 2026 program in Philadelphia included organizational psychologist and bestselling author Adam Grant, Chubb Chairman & CEO Evan Greenberg, and Pro Football Hall of Famer Michael Strahan. Speakers for the 2027 New Orleans edition are announced closer to the event.
