In a move to deepen the partnership between RIMS, the risk management society®, and leading global broker network Brokerslink, the two organizations have partnered to offer a RIMS-CRMP certification pre-conference workshop in conjunction with the 2025 Brokerslink Global Conference in Madrid. The workshop will be held on October 7-8, immediately preceding the conference, which runs October 8–10. Open to both conference participants and other interested professionals, this pre-conference session offers a dynamic opportunity for brokers to sharpen their skills, while advancing a global standard of risk management knowledge.  

The RIMS-CRMP Certification is the only risk management certification in the world to hold an accredited status. The certification and workshop covers the following five risk management tenants: analyzing organizational models; designing organizational risk strategies; implementing the risk process; developing organizational risk competency; and supporting decision-making. Earning official accreditation by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) under the ISO/IEC 17024 standard in 2017, the RIMS-CRMP certification is currently held by nearly 2,000 risk leaders in more than 65 countries.  

Brokerslink Global Conference 2025 will bring together the world’s brokerage community for three days of engaging and thought-leading education, as well as powerful opportunities to network with industry leaders and cutting-edge solution providers. The conference is scheduled for October 8-10 in the heart of one of Europe’s most vibrant cities, Madrid.  

“The Brokerslink continuous investment in the technical development of our network is reflected in our partnership with RIMS and the availability of the RIMS-CRMP certification,” said Pedro Pinhal, a board member of Brokerslink's Risk Management Practice and a participant in the 2024 Brokerslink RIMS-CRMP Workshop. “The RIMS-CRMP provides our partners with international best practices and unique risk management mindset, enabling us to create new opportunities and deliver solutions that truly make a difference for our clients.”

The pre-conference workshop is part of a multi-year agreement between RIMS and Brokerslink that includes the delivery of a series of both private and public RIMS-CRMP Exam Prep Workshops™ for Brokerslink’s global network of 45,000 professionals in 133 countries. To support this endeavor, RIMS will continue to provide its thought-leading course materials, instructors, and exam opportunities to pave the way for participants to earn the RIMS-CRMP certification.  

“Business resilience is driven by risk programs built on strong collaboration between risk professionals and their brokers,” said RIMS CEO Gary A. LaBranche, FASAE, CAE. “Delivering world-class risk management education to Brokerslink’s global network will allow them to help their partners elevate the performance of their risk programs, enhance strategic decision-making, and unlock new opportunities. RIMS is thrilled to work with Brokerslink to provide this exceptional opportunity in Madrid.”
