The Insurance Managers Association of Cayman (IMAC) concluded the 2025 Cayman Captive Forum on December 4, following three days of industry sessions, regulatory updates, and networking. The event reached full capacity, drawing more than 1,500 registered delegates. The Forum is regarded as the world’s largest captive insurance conference, and it attracted captive owners, service providers, regulators, and other sector participants. The 2025 programme, held at The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman, focused on developments in risk management, regulatory trends, market conditions, and emerging innovations. Keynote speakers Chris Lemons and Rashmi Airan addressed delegates on leadership, resilience, and ethical decision-making. The agenda also included panel discussions, technical briefings, and case-study sessions led by practitioners and regulators. Michael Wild, Chair of the Cayman Captive Forum Committee, says the event continues to provide “a platform for substantive discussion on issues affecting captive insurance”. Wild adds: “The energy, engagement and collaboration we witnessed last week truly reflect the strength and growth of Cayman’s captive insurance community”. The event concluded with a highly anticipated reception on Seven Mile Beach, following a week of networking events, meetings, and exhibitions. The Cayman Captive Forum is scheduled to return on December 1–3, 2026, at The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman. The Cayman Islands is one of the largest domiciles globally for captives and a dominant jurisdiction for healthcare captives, group captives, catastrophe bonds, and international reinsurance. IMAC liaises with the government and the regulator on the industry’s behalf and promotes international competitiveness.
