The Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) is now accepting proposals for speaking opportunities at its 2024 Surety Bonding and Construction Risk Management Conference to be held at the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort & Spa in Bonita Springs, Florida, from January 29-31, 2024.  Please help us create an agenda of relevant and timely topics by sharing your ideas and input on key issues, trends, and best practices for managing risk in the construction industry. 

This conference brings together thought leaders in the field of construction risk management –

• Senior Executives of construction companies (particularly their in-house lawyers and risk managers)
• Insurance Carriers and Insurance Brokers
• Sureties and Bond Producers
• Lawyers and other Service Professionals on whom these executives depend for advice and assistance.

Our goal is to provide a meaningful opportunity for these senior-level professionals to share their expertise and experience. Surety bonding and insurance market trends, construction contract terms and conditions, ethics and compliance/case law updates, and job site protocols and procedures are all open for discussion – with a focus on advanced-level content.

The conference will feature General Sessions and Breakout Sessions.  Most of the sessions will run for one hour (some General Sessions may run longer), including time for Q&A.  Sessions may use a single presenter, multiple presenters, or a moderator/panel format. AGC plans to pre-qualify several of the educational sessions for continuing legal education (CLE) credit.

Click here to read the guidelines and instructions that explain AGC’s expectations of all speakers – as well as other need-to-know information if you would like to have your session pre-approved for CLE credit. Please review this information carefully before completing the online form to submit a proposal to deliver a presentation or to lead a panel discussion during AGC's 2024 conference. 

The deadline to submit a proposal is 11:59 PM (ET) on Friday, Sept. 15, 2023.

NOTE: Presentations cannot be strictly a sales pitch or a product showcase. If you are a product or service provider to the construction industry, AGC strongly encourages you to add a contractor as a co-presenter and focus on industry challenges and how to address them on a broad scale, using product or construction technology solutions as examples.
