‍

From November 16–19, 2025, the IRMI Construction Risk Conference (CRC) takes place in Indianapolis.

‍

With hundreds of sessions, an Expo Hall, networking events, and award-recognition opportunities, this is the construction risk and insurance industry’s anchor event.

‍

This guide will help you:

‍

Build a smart agenda
Navigate the Expo Hall with purpose
Make networking count
Extract real ROI after the event
Connect with TrustLayer on the floor for practical, hands-on conversations

‍

Why IRMI CRC Matters

‍

The IRMI CRC is where risk professionals, brokers, GCs, and tech innovators converge to tackle critical industry challenges.

Highlights include:

Dozens of sessions (see the full agenda here)
Networking with 1,700+ peers
Exposure to cutting-edge InsurTech and ConTech tools
Awards celebrating excellence and innovation in construction risk

‍

Step 1: Plan Your Agenda

‍

Without a plan, opportunities slip away.

‍

How to prepare:

Prioritize the Awards Lunch. The Gary E. Bird Horizon, Bill McIntyre Leadership, and Words of Wisdom Awards provide valuable takeaways.
Balance CE credits with a “stretch” session outside your comfort zone; check continuing education details.
Leave space in your calendar for the Expo Hall—the best insights often happen between sessions.

‍

‍

Step 2: Navigate the Expo Hall with Purpose

‍

The Expo Hall is the heartbeat of CRC, built for true solution discovery.

‍

Strategy pointers:

✔ Create your vendor list before arrival
✔ Book key demos early—traffic builds fast
✔ Focus on solutions that tackle your pain points, not just giveaways

‍

TrustLayer at IRMI CRC

‍

While there’s no booth this year, the TrustLayer team will be active throughout the floor, connecting with risk managers, brokers, and contractors in real time.

Ask how they can help your team:

‍

Automate COI, license, and W-9 collection (learn more)
Verify vendor compliance instantly
Maintain audit-ready documentation
‍

Sync directly with Procore, and CMiC.

‍

‍

Step 3: Make Networking Count

‍

CRC is designed for meaningful networking at every turn.

‍

Leverage Awards Lunch and Dessert with Exhibitors for structured networking.
Look for off-hour meetups in hotel lobbies or second-floor bars.
Perfect your 20-second pitch: summarize your biggest compliance challenge clearly.
