Today is the day! VCIA’s early rate specials for the World’s Greatest Captive Conference close today! Hopefully, all of you have already registered for our annual conference taking place August 8 – 10 in Burlington, Vermont.

I am very excited about our closing keynote speaker, Matthew Luhn from Pixar Animation Studios (whose parent is The Walt Disney Company, one of VCIA’s best known members). For over 20 years, Matthew has created stories and characters for Pixar, including the highly popular films Toy Story, Monsters Inc., Monsters University, Finding Nemo, UP, Cars, Ratatouille and more. Along with being a driving creative force for Pixar, Matthew trains CEOs, Directors and others in how to craft stories for their organizations as well.

So register today – and maybe we can convince Matthew to weave captive insurance into his next film. I think Monsters Risk Management has a good ring to it!

I look forward to hearing from you.
