One consideration for holding the Risk and Insurance Management Society's annual conference in Hawaii this year was that “we had hoped to attract some of the Pacific Rim attendees who might not be able to travel to Philadelphia or Florida as easily,” said Janice Ochenkowski, a director of the New York-based group.

Since the Federation of European Risk Management Associations will be meeting in Hawaii as well, RIMS will have more of an international flavor, said Ms. Ochenkowski, who is director of global risk management, Jones Lang LaSalle in Chicago.

The result is a Honolulu conference agenda containing more international topics than ever. Ms. Ochenkowski noted that the RIMS conference even offers some translated sessions.
