Leading Futurist and Trends Expert Jim Carroll to Keynote VCIA 2024


Authority on industry innovation and disruption will tailor his address to captive insurance audience. 

Vermont Business Magazine VCIA announced today its special event keynote for the 39th Annual VCIA Conference, taking place August 12-14th, at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Burlington, Vermont. Leading futurist, and global trends and innovations analyst Jim Carroll will deliver the address on Wednesday August 14th at 2:45pm. Mr. Carroll is to present “The Future of Insurance” as it specifically relates to the captive insurance sector. He comes with an acclaimed reputation, having given remarks at The World Bank, NASA, and The World Street Journal, among other prestigious organizations.  

Jim Carroll is well known for his highly customized, heavily researched, industry specific keynote presentations and he will provide the same approach to captive insurance at #VCIA2024. 

Said Mr. Carroll, “There is no doubt that in the world of insurance we are seeing relentless fast change, and I will offer a theme of ‘think big, act small, and scale fast’ as it relates to the captive insurance community at the VCIA Conference.” 

“We are thrilled to have Jim Carroll as the 2024 conference keynote speaker,” said VCIA CEO Kevin Mead. “He is the natural choice based on the fundamentals of captive insurance —dealing with uncertainty and emerging and unforeseen risks.” 

Conference Chair Maigh Wright of Marsh added, “the task force thoroughly vetted keynote candidates and Jim Carroll was the clear choice. The energy he brings will be palpable to the audience and they will come away with valuable insights on what the future may hold for managing risk.” 

Conference registration is currently open and early bird rates run through the month of June. Attendees will enjoy a collegial environment, accessing industry leaders and regulators, engaging with 75 exhibitors, and learning and gaining professional credit in some of the 30 sessions. Business networking and relationship building is also a main tenant of the VCIA Conference. 

VCIA, established in 1985, provides lobbying support for its nearly 400 members and offers captive education and opportunities for information-sharing that ensures an environment favorable to the continued growth and health of the captive industry.
