Welcome to Risk & Insurance® magazine’s "Risk at RIMS 2008" blog, a mish-mash of everything and anything going on at the biggest event in the risk and insurance universe. We've done this before (some of you might remember a post from Hawaii from our former associate editor, Michelle Kerr, who lamented at the unpredictable nature of risk when flying across the country with a motion-sick-prone toddler).
But our 2008 blog version, produced live from San Diego, is expanded to take in not only highlights from the conference sessions, hot topics and prime-time speakers. We'll also be covering interviews with leading risk managers, brokers and insurance execs. The best booths (and free stuff) from the expo floor. The social scene from the nighttime extravagences. And any rumor fit to print.
Don't expect writing here that's full of p.r. speak and newswire snooze style. We're letting our writers let loose (within reason, of course!), so the tone of our dispatches will be lively and, yes, irreverent. Hopefully funny and entertaining too. All while being well-informed, informational and of course useful for some reason or another.
The material will be posted as soon as it is written, with a minimum of editing; no deadlines, no delays, no run-arounds. For the convention’s largest events, we will post the material as soon as it happens. We’ll just keep posting crisp, compelling narrative about the show to inform and entertain readers who couldn’t make it this year (as well as those folks who could make it and amazingly have some free time to go online).
Can't tune into the Risk at RIMS 2008 blog on a frequent basis? (For shame, by the way!) We're also updating additional "standard" coverage and "best of the blog" stories on our Web site every day, at http://www.riskandinsurance.com/.
Don't think we're cutting the mustard? Or that we've made some brilliant points? Tell us. We'll leave room after every entry for you to post comments, which we look forward to reading. The more comments the better.
We hope that readers will have as much fun reading the blog as our writers will have writing it, but we have thick skin if needs be.
Either way, thanks again for your support and your interest in Risk & Insurance® magazine and http://www.riskandinsurance.com/.
Enjoy.
