Threshold San Diego - Overview

About the Round Table

Threshold seats 30–40 senior leaders — project controllers, risk managers, underwriters, brokers and infrastructure investors — around one table for a full day of direct, peer-level conversation on capital projects risk, at the San Diego Automotive Museum. Every session on the agenda is built around a risk category that's genuinely new to the capital-projects conversation — from agentic AI deployed inside live projects to sustainability rules reshaping supplier RFPs — going under the hood of what's actually changing, not just what's always been discussed.

Whether you're a project controller, PMO leader, risk manager, underwriter, broker, risk engineer, or infrastructure investor, this round table is designed for you. Gain insights from industry leaders on megaproject losses, DSU and LEG3 claims trends alongside the regulatory landscape now shaping them, contractual risk transfer and where it's quietly failing to match what happens on site, supplier sustainability and ESG disclosure risk, agentic AI and delivery-phase cyber exposure, last-mile insurance strategy before handover, and the PMO's expanding role in owning the risk register. San Diego has been strong ground for CTG Intelligence's risk community before, and Threshold brings that same track record to the capital projects and construction risk space.

Draft Agenda

8 December 2026 | San Diego Automotive Museum

8:00am PT
Registration & Coffee
8:30am PT
Welcome & Framing
Setting up the "threshold" concept and the day ahead
8:40am PT
New Risk Category: AI-Driven Risk Visibility Opening Framing Session
Crossing the Threshold: Risk Visibility from Design to Delivery
Geopolitical and energy volatility, AI-driven data, and why project controllers are becoming the earliest line of sight on risk that used to stay invisible until completion.
9:10am PT
New Risk Category: Defense & Government Supply Chain Risk Solo Session
Securing the Supply Line: Logistics Risk on Government Capital Programs
A view from inside government capital delivery — how logistics and procurement risk on military and public-sector programs surfaces earlier, and differently, than on commercial builds.
Manuel Ganuza, Assistant Program Manager for Logistics, NAVWAR
9:40am PT
New Risk Category: Real-Time Risk Technology
Seeing Risk Before It Happens: The Rise of Risk Tech on Megaprojects
IoT, AI-driven scheduling, digital twins and claims-prevention analytics — the tools reshaping early warning on major capital projects.
Stefano Braganti, Founder & CEO, Safety Clark
10:10am PT
New Risk Category: Supplier ESG & Disclosure Risk
Sustainability as Supply Chain Risk: Why California's Rules Change the RFP Conversation
Scope 3 emissions reporting is becoming a genuine supplier-vetting risk — companies unable to report their own emissions are being discounted or eliminated at RFP stage. With California's disclosure rules raising the bar, this session asks whether project teams actually understand why this matters pre-completion, or whether it's still being treated as a category-manager checkbox rather than an owned risk.
Derek DeCaprio, Supply Chain Sustainability Manager, San Diego Gas and Electric
10:40am PT
Coffee & Sponsor Showcase
11:00am PT
New Risk Category: Post-Completion Claims & Regulatory Exposure Panel Discussion
The Cost of Getting to Completion: Megaproject Losses, DSU, LEG3 and Regulatory Challenges
Delay in Start-Up claims trends, LEG3 ambiguity, and Liability Orders extending exposure years past project delivery — plus a look at the shifting regulatory landscape now bearing down on completion-stage risk.
Cynthia Garcia, Former CRO, Current Founder & CEO, Risk Wise
Michael Viayra Jr, Construction Litigation Partner, Thompson Hine
11:30am PT
New Risk Category: Contractual Risk Transfer Complexity
Who Really Holds the Risk? Contractual Risk Transfer on Capital Projects
How risk allocation clauses, indemnities and warranties are being tested by today's volatility — and where contractual risk transfer is quietly failing to match what actually happens on site.
12:30pm PT
Lunch Break
1:15pm PT
New Risk Category: Last-Mile Insurability Gap Panel Discussion
The Building That Changes Insurance Mid-Construction: Structuring Cover for the Last Mile
On a phased capital project, coverage doesn't wait for the ribbon-cutting — it transfers building by building, the moment each phase hands over, while construction is still live next door. Builders risk covers the process of construction — fire, water damage, theft, security — but not liability; a far more complete property and liability policy only activates at handover, often under a different carrier entirely. This session goes inside that seam: what a builder's risk inspector is actually checking for on a live site (rarely what people expect), how mandatory inspections create real leverage over compliance, and what happens when a subcontractor turns out to be underinsured and nobody catches it until it's too late.
David De Mers, Risk Management Specialist, Alexander & Schmidt
1:50pm PT
New Risk Category: Agentic AI & Delivery-Phase Cyber Exposure Panel Discussion
IT & Cyber Risk in Capital Projects: Building Secure by Design
Capital projects are increasingly deploying agentic AI — agent harnesses, autonomous sub-agents, vibe-coded tools — often funded and shipped faster than security teams can inventory them, let alone govern them. Layered on top of BIM platforms, cloud project management and connected equipment, this session makes the case for security designed in during pre-completion, not retrofitted once agents, and the risk they carry, are already live.
Lenin Lopez, Senior Vice President, Executive and Financial Risk, Gallagher
Ford Winslow, CEO, ICE Cybersecurity
Rusty Sailors, CEO, SSOW
Giri Mandyam, System on Chip Architect, AMD
2:30pm PT
Afternoon Break
2:45pm PT
New Risk Category: PMO Risk Ownership Panel Discussion
Who Owns the Risk Register? Project Controls, Cost Certainty and the PMO's Expanding Remit
Positioning project controls as the function best placed to own risk strategy — not just supply data to insurers.
Katrina Tirona, Strategic Project & Business Development Manager
Levi Gantt, Planning Specialist, BhP
3:20pm PT
New Risk Category: Handover Risk Alignment Gap Closing Discussion
Alignment, Not Just Handover: Where Pre-Completion Meets Operational Risk
The structural gap between delivery teams and operational risk teams — and how Threshold's pre-completion focus sits alongside ALIGN's operational risk lens.
Aurora Ayala
Richie Scaggs, Sr Manager, Corporate Security, Sony
4:00pm PT
Closing Remarks & Networking
