Thank you for your interest in presenting a session at the IRMI
Construction Risk Conference.
You'll find details about our requirements for a proposal
submission below.
Full Session Proposal Requirements
Full-length session proposals should be submitted using our Session Proposal Form by February 1, 2021 to be
considered for the 2021 program.
You must complete the form in one session, so make sure that you
have all of the following required information ready to enter. If you leave the
platform and come back later, you will have to start over.
- Descriptive Summary
-
In 75 words or less, state the purpose of the session and summarize what
attendees will take away from the session. The summary paragraph will be
used to help us market the session.
- Session Outline
-
Attach a separate document for upload that shows the proposed content of
the session. Please provide enough detail to allow us to understand the
scope and content of the presentation. If the session is selected, we may
ask you to add additional detail to the outline to meet state requirements
for continuing education approvals.
- Learning Objectives
-
Provide three learning objectives that summarize what attendees will be
able to do with the knowledge they obtain in the session or how it will
enable them to do their jobs better.
- Format
-
Indicate the style of the presentation—that is, lecture-style presentation,
interactive panel discussion, or other format.
- Proposed Time Frame
-
Our program can accommodate a variety of presentation lengths. Please
indicate what you think is an appropriate amount of time to adequately
cover the topic.
- Target Audience
-
Indicate the target audience for your presentation based on skill level and
job type of the attendee.
- Skill Level(s): Novice, Experienced but new to topic, Seasoned
professional, Expert
- Job Type: Risk Manager, General Counsel, CFO, Safety Professional,
Insurance Agent/Broker, Underwriting, Claims, Coverage Attorney
- Speaker Information
-
Provide a name, title, company of proposed speakers, a short biography (in
a separate document for upload), and contact information for the speaker
proposing the session (the primary speaker). If more than 2 speakers are
being proposed, we ask that you refrain from actually inviting additional
speakers until your session is approved.
Keep the proposed number of speakers to the fewest required to adequately
address the content. For multi-speaker sessions, please consider the
following when recommending additional speakers:
- Expertise – the most important criteria
- Speaking ability – good communicator, articulate, reliable
- Diversity – strive for a cross section of our audience makeup
All speakers should contribute to the educational discussion.
- Please do not submit a speaker whose only contribution is to
introduce the person who will provide the educational content. IRMI
provides facilitators to make introductions.
- Panel moderators should be able to contribute to the discussion as an
expert on some aspect of the topic.
