🎉 Celebrating 100 Years of IAVM 🎉

Last week at VenueConnect 2025 in New Orleans, the International Association of Venue Managers (IAVM) marked a century of advancing the public assembly venue industry — and we’re proud to have played a small part in that journey.

Reliance Risk founder, Wayne Middleton, was honoured to contribute to this milestone:

🔹 He developed one of the first modules in IAVM’s new online micro-credential program, Introduction to Risk Management , aimed at making professional development more accessible to venue professionals in North America.

🔹 He was also a contributor to the newly released edition of Public Assembly Venue Management , IAVM’s essential resource for the principles and practices of managing public venues.

Both initiatives were officially launched at VenueConnect, furthering IAVM’s commitment to education, excellence, and industry resilience.

At Reliance Risk, we’re humbled to support the ongoing growth of risk management in venues — and celebrate Wayne’s contribution to helping shape the future of the field.
