Free Podcasts: How the Construction Industry Can Survive and Thrive in Uncertain Economic Times

Keynote speakers Edmund F. Kelly, Chairman, President, and CEO of Liberty Mutual, and Hugh L. Rice, Chairman of FMI Corporation addressed attendees at the Conference in November 2009. In their keynote addresses, Mr. Kelly and Mr. Rice discussed the outlook for the insurance and construction industries as well as key tactics for contractors, insurers, agents, and brokers to survive and prosper in the coming years. Both presentations received rave reviews by the 1,100 conference attendees.

The third podcast features Mr. Kelly, Mr. Rice and Conference Cochairman, William S. McIntyre in a lively question and answer session.

CRIS Designees To Receive 15% Discount

IRMI is pleased to announce that current holders of the Construction Risk and Insurance Specialist (CRIS) certification will qualify for a 15% discount off the applicable registration fee for the 30th IRMI Construction Risk Conference. The cost of the five CRIS courses is so low that this discount nearly funds the entire cost of obtaining the CRIS certification!

To qualify, you must be a current holder of the certification at the time you register for the Conference (i.e., you must have met the reaccreditation requirement if you have held the certification for more than 24 months).

If you are not already a CRIS certification holder and sell, buy, underwrite or advise on insurance programs for contractors, consider obtaining the certification and attending this year's IRMI Conference. If you do this, you will end the year with vastly expanded construction risk and insurance expertise, a recognized and respected industry certification, and a valuable network of construction risk and insurance professionals.
