Nashville, TN, November 13, 2014—Almost 1,400 risk managers,
insurance agents, brokers, attorneys, and underwriters who specialize in managing or insuring the
risks associated with construction projects convened here November 9–13 for the 34th
IRMI Construction
Risk Conference.
The IRMI Construction Risk Conference is the only national symposium devoted exclusively to managing,
insuring, and bonding the risks of construction projects. The Conference featured 3 general sessions and
35 workshops presented by more than 71 nationally recognized insurance, risk management, safety, and surety experts.
Contractors large and small sent their risk, insurance, and safety managers. In addition, virtually all the
major providers of insurance or surety services were represented, and a substantial number of risk managers representing
project owners (i.e., companies with large construction projects planned or under way) attended.
“Attendance at the Conference is finally back to pre-recession levels, which demonstrates the continued recovery of the economy
in general and the construction industry in particular,” said IRMI President & CEO and Conference Cochairman Jack Gibson. “The commitment to and passion for risk management and safety shown by the attendees is always inspiring, but this year it seemed even more pronounced. There is no doubt in my mind that the people who attend prevent thousands of construction accidents and save many workers’ lives every year.”
The 35th IRMI Construction Risk Conference will be held November 8–12, 2015, in Las Vegas, NV. For more information, visit
