Thank you for your interest in presenting a session at the IRMI Transportation Risk Conference (TRC)

We are no longer accepting proposals for the 2024 Conference program. The submission deadline was October 20,2023.

Please review the Session Proposal Requirements carefully before beginning the submission process.

Session Proposal Requirements

Educational sessions should accomplish one of these objectives.

  • Educate the audience on a new or developing concept or happenings in the industry
  • Present opposing views on a topic (pros and cons)
  • Provide an in depth look at a topic affecting the industry

Submit your session proposal using our Session Proposal Form. You must complete the form in one session, so make sure 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. Incomplete proposals will not be considered.

Submit Your Proposal

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 another 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 the 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.

We encourage you to give consideration to the diversity of your proposed co-presenters or panelists, both demographically and in terms of their role. To support diversity of role companies are limited to one complimentary speaker registration per topic. Additional proposed speakers from the same company must be registered attendees to participate.
