What Risk & Insurance does

Risk & Insurance is a privately held B2B trade media company that covers the people, stories, and risks at the core of risk management and commercial insurance. Headquartered in Horsham, United States, the company serves insurance industry professionals including corporate risk managers, insurance brokers and agents, claims professionals, and insurance carriers through a multi-channel content and events platform built around its flagship Risk & Insurance Magazine (digital and print editions), newsletters, award programs, and conferences.

The company's product surface spans an editorial content platform (the riskandinsurance.com website, newsletter distribution, the Predict & Prevent Podcast, Risk Scenarios case studies, Executive Video Q&A interviews, and Branded Webinars), the Risk Central directory of white papers, webinars, and vendor resources, the National Comp workers' compensation conference, and a portfolio of recurring award programs (Power Broker, Risk All Stars, and Theo Awards). The underlying technology stack is a standard digital publishing and email distribution platform with conference management capabilities; the proprietary asset is Risk Central, which integrates vendor-supplied content and a service directory.

Risk & Insurance generates revenue through four streams: digital and print magazine subscriptions and newsletter sign-ups (subscription recurring), display and sponsored advertising on the website and in publications (advertising), conference hosting and sponsorships including National Comp (professional services), and sponsored white papers and content distributed through Risk Central (advertising). The company operates a community-led, event-driven go-to-market model, leveraging editorial credibility, awards recognition, and conference partnerships with organizations such as RIMS, VCIA, PRIMA, IASA, CICA, and IMCA to reach its primary audience segments of risk managers and insurance brokers across North America.
