Build your brand. Grow your network.
A panel discussion and speed networking event — part of the Chicago RIMS Rising Risk Professionals Education Series.
Your personal brand is one of the most valuable investments you can make early in your career. It shapes how colleagues, clients, and future employers see you long before you walk into the room.
Join us at the Old Republic office for a panel with industry leaders who will share their career journeys, the reputations they have built along the way, and the practical strategies behind them. Following the panel, attendees will take part in a speed networking session designed to turn those ideas into real connections.

An RRP Chicago member event at Royal Palms Shuffleboard — and the kickoff of 2026/2027 membership.
Last year's outing was one of the best turnouts RRP has had, so we're back — this time in Wicker Park, with shuffleboard courts, food, drinks, and a room full of people at the same stage of their careers as you.
No panel. No presentation. Just a couple of hours to meet people you'll be working alongside for the next twenty years, in a setting where nobody has to make small talk about the weather.
You don't need to be. Come as a guest for $30, or make it official: a full year of RRP Chicago membership plus your ticket for $85. Membership gets you member pricing on every RRP event this year, access to select RIMS Chicago Chapter events, and first access to the mentorship program launching this fall.
Payment by credit card at registration. Registration closes Tuesday, August 11 — no walk-ins.
