DALLAS (Dec. 8, 2014)—International Risk Management Institute, Inc. (IRMI) is now accepting registrations for the IRMI Energy Risk & Insurance Conference on March 16–18, 2015, in Houston, Texas.

This conference brings together insurance buyers, risk managers, agents, brokers, underwriters, adjusters, attorneys, and others who must understand, mitigate, or insure the complex exposures of oil and gas exploration, production and servicing.

The conference agenda includes workshops presented by nationally known risk management, insurance brokerage, underwriting, or legal experts who have spent years working in this specialized field.

Workshop topics will include:
