The Institutes, the leading risk management and insurance knowledge provider, today announced it has acquired three valuable knowledge-sharing platforms from LRP Media Group: Risk & Insurance®, National Workers’ Compensation and Disability Conference® & Expo (NWCDC), and National Ergonomics Conference & ErgoExpo® (ErgoExpo). The deal closed on December 9, 2019.

“We are thrilled to welcome the Risk & Insurance, NWCDC, and ErgoExpo teams to The Institutes,” said Peter Miller, CPCU, president and CEO of The Institutes. “Each of these entities offers new and unique opportunities to provide knowledge and education to those interested in risk management and insurance.”
