RIMS 2009 Conference

Members and friends of the Risk and Insurance Management Society descended upon Orlando, Florida for the RIMS 2009 Conference on Apr. 19-23. Delegates kicked off the event at Epcot Centre for an around-the-world- themed Opening Reception. RIMS president (and proud Canadian) Joe Restoule offered words of welcome and acknowledged many colleagues were unable to attend the conference due to difficulties precipitated by the economic recession. Nevertheless, he remained confident the risk management community would emerge stronger than ever following the recovery of the economy. After that, it was down to business: delegates were able to choose from a plethora of educational seminars and peruse the more than 400 exhibitors that filled the exhibit hall.
