Dear Colleagues and Friends,
The 2024 Atlanta RIMS Educational Conference is approaching quickly, and your participation is requested. We will be hosting the two-day conference on February 1st and 2nd, at The Cobb Galleria Centre. The 2024 Educational Conference is set to not only have great attendance, but further push our industry forward with great speakers and topics.
The Atlanta Chapter has hosted an annual risk management education conference since 1984. In 2023 we were once again able to exceed conference expenses and donate scholarship funds to the Spencer Educational Foundation, The University of Georgia and Georgia State University. Through the generosity of our sponsors and the attendance by the risk and insurance community, Atlanta RIMS has donated over $1,000,000 to date for risk and insurance related student scholarships. The support of the risk management and insurance community is integral in reaching our goal to further Risk Management education in the greater Atlanta area.
We are contacting you to formally request your firm’s participation as a Sponsor of our 2024 Educational Conference. Your sponsorship in 2024 is critical to our success. As the chair of the Conference and on behalf of the Sponsorship Committee and Board, we would ask that you please consider your participation in the 2024 conference.
The sponsorship opportunities are similar to 2023 and are listed in detail below. Within the next couple of weeks, a member of the Sponsorship Committee will be contacting you to discuss your potential sponsorship and encourage your input. If you have any questions, or you are not the appropriate point of contact, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Brian Nulty at Nultyb@mscdirect.com, or the sponsorship leads Michael Smith at MichaelF.Smith@mckesson.com and James Burgess at james.burgess@ankura.com.

Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I receive any complimentary tickets with my sponsorship?
No level of sponsorship entitles the sponsor to free conference registration, however some levels do offer a set number of registrations discounted by $50.
2) Where can I send updated name or logo information to be included in the conference program and signage?
Please send all updated logos and names to Michael Smith MichaelF.Smith@mckesson.com and James Burgess james.burgess@ankura.com , who are leading the Sponsorship Committee.
3) Can I pay for conference attendance at the same time I pay for my sponsorship?
Yes. When you sign up to attend the conference on our website please mark the option “Pay by check.” Write your check for the chosen sponsorship level as well as the total ticket price of your attendees. Make sure to note your sponsorship level as well as which conference attendees you are paying for when you send in your check.
4) How will we register attendees who receive the $50 discounted registration fee?
After you have selected your sponsorship level, we will email you a code which you can enter on the website to register your allocated number of discounted attendees. Register only your allocated number. All other employees should register at the regular price. In the event that your company’s registrations exceed your allocation, Atlanta RIMS will invoice you for the overage.
5) Can I pay the sponsorship donation using a credit card?
We are able to accept credit card payments, but would prefer to receive payment via ACH payment or a check due to the fees charged by our credit card processing company.
6) Who is allowed to sit at the reserved tables during the luncheon?
You can invite registered attendees to sit at your table - clients, prospects, employees from your company. Each table seats 10 people.
7) How do I reserve an exhibit table?
All Platinum, Diamond and Exhibitor level sponsors will be reserved one exhibit table. Once eight (8) exhibit tables have been reserved, no more will be issued. Please notify the sponsorship chairperson if you do not want your reserved exhibit table.
8) What is the Amenities Station?
The Station will be an area where attendees can relax and recharge. We hope to offer services such as cell phone charging, shoe shines, and computer access.
9) What is the Professional Picture Station?
The Station will have a professional photographer taking headshots for attendees to keep.
If you haven’t done so, please double check that this is the correct address for the PO Box as it has changed this year.
Something for team to consider…For the Amenities Station and Professional Picture Station, is giving them Silver level benefits attractive enough considering the cost?
