Thank you, Chicago!

On Thursday, September 24, the risk management community packed The Old Post Office for the 11th Annual Chicagoland Risk Forum: a full day of sharp conversation, practical education and the kind of networking that only happens in person.

To our speakers, sponsors, volunteers, planning committee and every attendee who walked through the doors: thank you. You made it one of the best days on Chicago's risk management calendar.

2026 Highlights

  • Performance Under Pressure. Team Penske INDYCAR Driver Scott McLaughlin sat down with Amy Carnahan, Senior Vice President at Gallagher, for a keynote conversation on managing risk at 230 MPH.

  • Breakouts that got practical. From supply chain outages and claims data to risk management's seat in the C-suite, sessions presented by Vantage, CorVel, HUB and WTW took on the issues sitting on every risk leader's desk.

  • Connections all day long. Our CONNECT sponsors and the Telegram Lounge kept the conversations going between sessions.

  • A view worth the trip. Lunch and the closing happy hour on The Old Post Office rooftop, with the Chicago skyline as the backdrop.
