Amy Lamb and Theresa Guertin are back from the IRMI Construction Risk Conference 2025 and they brought stories,strategy, and a few conference confessions with them. This IRMI recap episode breaks down what actually matters once the badge is off and you are back in the inbox pile.

In this conversation, Amy and Theresa dig into:

• What made this IRMI Construction Risk Conference feel different and why fewer meetings led to stronger relationships
• How intentional networking, courage, and curiosity open doors with senior leaders, clients, and future mentors
• Why the IRMI Women’s Happy Hour and the influx of UGA risk management students felt like a turning point for young talent
• Behind the scenes of Soledad and Theresa’s packed master class on wrap up placements for complex projects
• How wrap up one oh one and more advanced sessions could work together as a full wrap up track at future conferences
• Early warning signs in the market, including increasingly aggressive residential and mixed use exclusions in construction insurance policies
• Advice for young professionals on picking up the phone, asking the questions that feel scary, and learning by doing
• Why sobriety, boundaries, and life outside the conference hotel change how you experience events and your career

If you are a construction insurance professional, risk manager, broker, or carrier partner who wants to get more out of conferences like IRMI, this recap will give you both practical takeaways and a reminder that relationships still drive this industry.

Perfect for listeners interested in IRMI, construction risk, wrap up programs, OCIP placements, and the real life side of networking and career growth in insurance.
