Colleague,
One of our most important activities each year is the IRMI Construction Risk
Conference. We're proud that it has become the premier gathering place for construction
risk and insurance professionals and look forward to seeing all our friends
in Orlando in November.
At this point, the agenda is set and the speakers are committed. We'll be
hitting all the hot topics—such as the new additional insured endorsements,
construction defect, contractor default insurance, OCIPs and CCIPs, workers
comp challenges—from every angle. With around 1,200 of the industry's best and
brightest in attendance, participation also provides an incredible networking
opportunity. I hope you are planning to join us.
You can access the agenda and speaker biographies (and register) on this Web page.
Of course, we also still have room in our Tech-eRisk 2004 seminars, which
will be held next month in Las Vegas, Chicago, and Boston. This will be an intensive
learning session on how to properly manage and insure the technology risks that
every modern business faces. For more information check out the seminars section
of IRMI.com.
Thank you for subscribing to IRMI Update. I hope to see you at one of our
seminars or the Construction Risk Conference.
All the best,
Jack
