The 2014 Captive Insurance Companies Association (CICA) International Conference held on 9-11 March saw record attendance—with 133 first time attendees and a sold out exhibit hall.
As the only domicile neutral trade association for the captive industry, the CICA conference provided an opportunity for networking within the industry’s top service providers, regulators, and domicile association leaders. The CICA conference now includes an annual gathering of the Captive Association Leadership Council (CALC), which is comprised of representatives from all of the captive domicile associations and related groups.
“We’re especially pleased to see the increased participation of captive owners and managers,” said CICA president, Dennis Harwick, adding that the 2014 International Conference was almost 20 percent larger than any previous CICA conference.
“Sessions focused on best practices, positive outcomes, and strategies to expand the use of captives as companies grow. In addition, the multiple networking opportunities provided attendees with the chance to generate contacts throughout the captive world.”
“During the CALC meeting, we explained the initiatives that CICA is taking to address industry challenges that cross jurisdictional lines—such as challenges from the OECD and the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, along with a wide ranging discussion of reputational challenges and issues of common concern,” Harwick added.
