Unique Conference Experience

We encourage you to enjoy the full range of our programming by attending workshops, conference sessions, and special events. URMIA does not host an exhibit hall, so you are free to network and experience our events alongside other attendees.

Here's what an institution's Risk Manager said about a recent conference experience:

• "I like the way Affiliates have a presence at the conference but it's not all about big flashy vendor booths. It's always interesting to interact with Affiliates in educational sessions instead of vendor booths - it feels like a more genuine experience."

Additional Benefits

• Visibility, name recognition, and evidence of your organization's commitment to higher education
• A greater understanding of the issues facing higher education clients and how to address them, enabling your organization to meet your clients' needs better than your competitors
• A forum to develop personal relationships with higher education professionals from institutions across the country and the world
• Opportunities to speak at URMIA conferences and to contribute articles to our monthly online newsletter and annual printed publication
• A listing for you and your organization's website in the member directory

URMIA treats its affiliate members a little differently than other professional organizations do. We view our affiliate members as important partners with whom we share our ideas, problems, and solutions. We welcome the involvement of individuals from a wide variety of industries so that we can work cooperatively to elevate the role of risk management in higher education. We welcome your involvement!
