Shaping the future of risk at RIMS

At RIMS, the most valuable conversations start with listening, understanding what’s changing in your risk landscape and where the biggest challenges lie.

That’s what we’re looking forward to in Philadelphia: connecting with our clients, partners, and peers across the industry, collaborating on practical solutions, and continuing to cultivate new approaches to an increasingly complex risk environment. Because the most effective solutions are shaped through real dialogue, grounded in experience, and built in partnership.

Our sessions at the Thought Leader Stage reflect that focus, bringing together real-world experience and practical perspectives on the challenges shaping corporate risk today. From parametric solutions in action to evolving risk strategies, each discussion is designed to offer clear, actionable insights and spark further conversation.

As the proud sponsor of the Thought Leader Stage, connect with us at Booth 2619 or request time with our team in advance.

Disaster recovery in real time: Parametric Insurance in action 
The parametric insurance space has grown rapidly over the past decade, transforming how organizations manage risk in an increasingly volatile world. As more clients adopt these solutions and natural disasters become more frequent and severe, the industry now draws on real claims experience. Insurers have successfully paid multiple claims, demonstrating the effectiveness and reliability of parametric products in delivering fast, transparent payouts.
Explore our Parametric solutions.

End of D&O insurance as we know it?
Predictions about the “end” of D&O insurance surface regularly, fueled by regulatory shifts, evolving governance and litigation trends, technological disruption, and changing enforcement priorities. But what is real change, and what is simply noise? Explore how today’s forces are reshaping the D&O landscape, where boards and risk leaders should focus, and how claims-informed strategies can help them act decisively, protect credibility, and stay confident without becoming complacent.

Earnings volatility: the uninvited guest to financial results
Earnings volatility has become the uninvited guest in financial results, driven by market shocks, climate events, and operational disruption. While traditional insurance absorbs losses, it rarely delivers predictability. Alternative risk transfer is giving risk leaders new ways to smooth earnings, reinforce balance sheets, and align risk financing with how the business actually performs.

Global insurance programs promise consistency. Latin America delivers reality. Regulatory complexity, local practices, and enforcement dynamics challenge global designs and expose execution gaps.
