Dear Colleagues and Friends,

The 2023 Atlanta RIMS Educational Conference is approaching quickly, and your participation is requested.  We will be hosting the two-day conference on February 2^nd and 3^rd, at The Cobb Galleria Centre. The 2023 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 2022 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 to 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 2023 Educational Conference. Your sponsorship in 2023 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 2023 conference.

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 for your registrants. Your registrants should use the “Discount Registration” option when registering. Send the code only to your allocated number of registrants based on the sponsorship purchased. 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.

You can invite registered attendees to sit at your table - clients, prospects, employees from your company.  Each table seats 10 people.
