Global Event Series
The PRMIA Global Event Series includes large one-day conferences held in major European, North American, and Asian Markets to anchor the series. In addition, events will be organized in more than 30 other global markets through PRMIA chapter meetings.

The series will unite PRMIA's membership and chapter network with a focused examination of risk issues around four themes throughout the year. "The PRMIA Global Event Series will provide an excellent opportunity for PRMIA members worldwide to be connected through the examination of a specific risk-related theme," says David Millar, PRMIA Chief Operating Officer. "Members will have the chance to hear from industry-leading experts and share with each other through discussions of current best practices in risk management."
