The Words of Wisdom Award

One of the reasons the IRMI Construction Risk Conference has become such a major event for construction risk management, insurance, legal, and surety professionals is the quality of the educational sessions. Each year, we have 50 or more speakers on the program, most of whom do a great job. However, some go the extra mile to do a stellar job.

These outstanding speakers are characterized by thorough preparation, detailed and useful handouts, effective use of visual aids, and enthusiastic delivery. More importantly, they share practical ideas, tips, and techniques that attendees can take back to their jobs and use.

To recognize the substantial contributions these experts have made to the construction and insurance industries, we started a hall of fame in 1992. The inductees receive our Words of Wisdom Award. To date, 18 outstanding speakers have been honored with this award.
