FAIR Institute Awards

Recognition and Validation of Excellence

In recent years, we've received hundreds of nominations and honored dozens of winners at the FAIR Institute Awards Gala hosted at each annual FAIR Conference. These awards offer a close-up view of the swiftly evolving risk management field. Among our past nominees, we've witnessed the embrace of inventive quantitative risk management methods, enhancements in strategic and operational decision-making, and risk reporting modernization. These accolades underscore the significant influence of FAIR on organizations, their workforce, and their clients.

Creating a quantitative risk management program with FAIR™ has increased our stakeholder engagement dramatically, creating more conversations with the business that keeps pushing our results to be better.
