Thank you for joining us for The Forum's Institute on Health, Safety, Security, and Risk Management 2025!

The 2025 Health and Safety Institute brought together a record number of participants across our virtual and in-person events to explore the most pressing challenges and innovations in global education risk management. Held June 25–27 in Chicago and hosted by the University of Illinois system, the sold out in-person event fostered deep connection, hands-on learning, and timely conversations about student well-being, global risk, and institutional resilience. Browse highlights in the slideshow below and explore our full recaps of the virtual event and in-person Institute to relive the insights and energy that defined this year’s gathering.
