Go beyond just business cards — have the invaluable face-to-face conversations that really matter.

Our receptions offer unique opportunities for you to connect with fellow insurance risk managers with diverse and fresh perspectives on optimal bank protection, while fostering innovations for tackling emerging risks. Deepen your existing connections or build new relationships as you cultivate a strategic peer network you can tap into long after the IRM Forum is over.

This year, connect with fellow risk managers at the Hilton Bonnet Creek while you enjoy a top Orlando resort’s delicious bevs and bites. Remember to wear your badge; it’s your ticket to enter these special events designed to enhance your attendee experience.

2025 special events

Opening Networking Reception

Sponsored by AIG
Sunday, January 26
5:00 PM - 6:00 PM

Join us for the AIG Networking Reception. Taking place at the Harbor Foyer and Terrace, you will enjoy live music, a comfortable space to watch the NFL Conference Championship Games, a cocktail of your choosing and delicious hors d'oeuvres. Near conference registration, this event is the official kickoff for the 2025 Insurance Risk Management Forum.

Yacht Rock

Sponsored by AON, EPIC, Marsh, Gallagher and WTW 
Monday, January 27
5:00 PM – 6:00 PM

Come rock out while looking at yachts! We’ll see you at the Marina Courtyard, with its breathtaking views of the water. Enjoy fresh seafood and a live band playing yacht rock, harking back to the days of Hall & Oates, Toto and the Doobie Brothers, to set the mood. Participate in interactive stations that will stick with you even after you leave IRM Forum.

Bermuda Markets Brew Pub and Dueling Pianos

Tuesday, January 28
9:00 PM – 10:00 PM

For a great last night in San Diego, join us for an event like no other! Dueling pianos is a lively and interactive musical performance style where two pianists play off each other. Typically, each pianist takes turns playing popular songs — and often compete for the audience's attention, showcasing their skills through improvisation, clever arrangements and playful rivalry. The format creates an engaging experience where everyone can sing along, clap and enjoy the energy of live music. A great time is guaranteed! 

Receptions are subject to change.

"Coming to the Forum and engaging with peers is validating. Some solutions that we come up with often happen through a conversation, and that not only helps me, it helps everyone. We all mutually benefit without the detriment to any one party." – Past Attendee
