IRMI Celebrates 25 Years of Excellence!

International Risk Management Institute, Inc., now known as IRMI, celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2003. Founded in 1978, IRMI was formed primarily to educate risk managers, agents/brokers, and other insurance professionals through the use of seminars. In conjunction, risk and insurance publications were developed to provide what we felt was much needed information in an evolving industry. So popular were these publications that by the mid-1980s, publishing had become our primary focus.

Today, IRMI publishes the most comprehensive (and, we think, practical) risk and insurance library of any publisher. Our library has expanded to over 45,000 pages and is available in print and via IRMI Online. Our subscriber family encompasses thousands of risk professionals serving all industries in all parts of the world.

IRMI also hosts the award-winning IRMI.com Web site, one of the most visited Web sites for risk professionals. With over 700,000 visitors this year (and that number growing daily), the IRMI.com Web site has broad appeal, providing articles on a wide range of topics. IRMI also offers a number of free e-mail newsletters that serve as companions to our publications. Our flagship e-mail newsletter, IRMI Update, has one of the largest circulations in the property casualty insurance arena with over 31,000 subscribers.

IRMI scaled back its seminars in the late 1980s. However we continued the annual IRMI Construction Risk Conference (previously called the Construction Insurance Conference), and it grew in popularity. Over the years the IRMI Construction Risk Conference has become the premier event for people who manage or insure construction risks, with attendance reaching 1,500.

Throughout the years, our primary goal has always been to help people do a better job of managing risk by giving them the reliable and practical resources they need to improve the way they do business. While IRMI has enjoyed many successes, what makes us proudest is our expanding family of subscribers and learning how we have helped them achieve their business or risk management goals over the years.

If our publications, seminars, or conferences have been helpful to you, we'd love to hear about it. See what our customers have to say, and please send us your IRMI comments.

Many thanks for your confidence and support over the years!
