The key to a successful IRMI CRC is preparation. With so many sessions and activities, it’s easy to miss valuable opportunities if you don’t plan ahead.

How to prepare your IRMI CRC 2025 agenda:

Don’t Miss the Awards (and the People)

CRC’s three signature awards are more than ceremony—they’re practical case studies in leadership and innovation:

  • Words of Wisdom (WOW) Award – consistently outstanding, actionable speaking.

Use the Awards Lunch to meet peers tackling similar portfolios and swap what’s working. (You’ll also find exhibitors ready for deeper demos during the Dessert with Exhibitors block right after.)
