Every year VCIA looks for new ways to provide content and updated information to our members at our annual conference. This year we are trying something new: we have scheduled a half-day on Monday afternoon, August 5th, right before the conference gets started for what we are calling Captive Immersion.
VCIA’s Captive Immersion is designed to familiarize individuals who are new to the captive industry (or who just want to understand captive roles more fully) on the key services that are needed during captive feasibility study, formation and management. These services include legal, auditing, management, actuarial, investments, and captive regulation. Industry experts will give newcomers a complete sense of the various components and their importance in the overall captive picture. The afternoon begins with lunch and concludes with a cocktail networking reception for participants of Captive Immersion, the session speakers, VCIA board members, Platinum sponsors and invited captive owners.
Upon completion, participants will be able to better understand key stakeholdings in the captive insurance industry; obtain a higher-level understanding of the captive insurance industry; learn how and when to engage the services of a particular service provider; understand the roles and responsibilities of each service provider group. A lifetime’s worth of knowledge all in one afternoon (with drinks at the end to boot)! So, keep a lookout for more information, including our official May 1st conference kick-off day.
Thank you all very much, and I look forward to hearing from you!
