Theme: Fresh Ideas. Market Choices. Sound Decisions.


The Washington RIMS Chapter proudly hosts the 2009 Western Regional Conference in Seattle, WA on September 22nd-25th, 2009. Our theme for the Western Regional Conference is, 'Fresh Ideas. Market Choices. Sound Decisions' and through our diverse network of Northwest industries and companies we plan on delivering an experience that will be as 'Fresh' and full of as many 'Choices' as the Pike's Place Market while covering a range of topics as expansive as the 'Sound' (Puget Sound of course).

Some of the topics that will be highlighted at the event include:

  • Marketplace & Economy Update 
  • Interview With the Brokerage CEO's
  • Pirates in the 21st Century: Exotic Threat or Global Risk
  • Global Supply Chain Risk Management - impacts of the emerging markets and new risks to consider

  • Conducting & Maximizing a Broker Service Process
  • Innovative Alternatives to address Climate Change & Risk Financing
  • Mergers & Acquisitions - things the Risk Manager needs to consider
