If you are planning a conference, seminar or other event which you think is of interest to the IRM members, and you would be interested in the IRM endorsing your event, please see the summary of the IRM endorsement policy, below.

The following tests will normally be applied to whether we endorse a conference or event from another organisation:

1. It is relevant to IRM members

2. It does not conflict with the aims of the IRM

3. IRM members gain a reasonable discount, agreed with the IRM

4. The event is not within a month of our own conference or any other key IRM event

5. Publicity literature will feature the IRM logo in accordance with IRM corporate identity guidelines, and an approved paragraph explaining the aims of IRM

6. A link to IRM is provided from the organiser's own web publicity

7. Endorsed events will count towards IRM Fellowship points and CPD. This information must be included on event literature.

If the answer to any of the above is ‘no’ the event will not normally be endorsed. Particular relevance will be attached to events where an IRM member is speaking. If you would like the IRM to consider endorsing you event, please email marketing@theirm.org

Simpler still, if a reasonable discount can be offered for IRM members, but full endorsement is not required/possible, events may still be listed in the relevant sections of the IRM website. However, the IRM limits the number of endorsements it is prepared to support, so even if the answer is 'yes' to all the above considerations this does not guarantee acceptance.

Please note that this policy applies to conferences and seminars, etc. The IRM also accredits other organisations’ courses, but different criteria are used for this which are shown in the IRM Accreditation section.
