Captive insurance professionals from throughout the United States and around the world will gather in Burlington, Vermont for one of the world's premiere captive insurance events, August 13 - 15, 2013 at the Sheraton Hotel and Conference Center and the University of Vermont's Davis Center. The event is the 28th Annual Conference hosted by the Vermont Captive Insurance Association.
Though more than half of the U.S. states now have captive insurance laws on their books, Vermont continues to be the premier domicile in the United States and the third largest in the world. Among the nearly 600 active captive insurance companies in Vermont, the State's roster of captive insurance companies includes 42 of the Fortune 100 and 18 of the 30 companies that comprise the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
The conference, entitled "New Frontiers in Captive Discovery" will feature leading experts in the captive insurance world whose discussions will span from the most basic to the most complex trends and innovations in the captive arena. According to VCIA President Richard Smith, "The world of captive insurance continues to expand as risk managers seek better ways to control their long-term risk. The VCIA Conference's expert panelists will provide great opportunities for learning and insight into current captive topics and trends. Captive professionals of every level will benefit greatly from the VCIA conference."
Known for its unequaled quality and substantive contributions to the professional development of those who attend, the VCIA Annual Conference will draw over 1100 attendees.
