The Captive Review Conference 2026 was a fantastic event and is now over. We can't wait to welcome you back in 2027. Stay tuned for updates!
June 22-23rd 2027 | Chicago
Navigating Risk. Optimising Captives. Building Resilience.
The captive insurance market is evolving as organisations navigate an increasingly volatile and complex risk landscape. As captives become more embedded within wider enterprise risk strategies, the focus is shifting beyond simply having a captive to how organisations can optimise it, expand its use and demonstrate greater value across the business.
The Captive Review Conference USA 2027 brings together senior captive owners, risk managers, regulators, brokers, reinsurers and advisers to explore how captives are evolving in structure, governance and purpose. The agenda covers case studies, regulatory updates, capital strategy, emerging risks and innovation in captive management.
This forum offers informed discussion among peers shaping the industry’s future. Attendees will gain actionable insights, strengthen relationships and leave ready to position their captive programs for 2027 and beyond. If you are looking to earn CPE credits while you're there, qualifying sessions are built into the programme.

Don't just take our word for it: hear what your peers had to say about Captive Review event throughout the years
“I thought the event was of an excellent size (not too small, not too big) and it was great to see that so many captive owners showed up and were happy to share their experiences. There were great networking opportunities, and the choice of Chicago as host city meant that the destination was fairly centralized for all participants.”

“I found the recent conference in Chicago to be exceptionally valuable. The setting was intimate and informative, creating a perfect environment for meaningful conversations. The experience truly helped me deepen my relationships and strengthen connections within the industry.”

“Great networking, relevant content, and top-notch speakers. Looking forward to next year.”
“Refreshingly tight set of presentations that moved along pleasantly and conveyed many new ideas and thoughtful insights.”
“This was my first captive event I attended, and the sessions were very helpful. We do not have a captive in the US yet, so I am still in the learning phase. Everyone I spoke to was very friendly and helpful.”
“I am new to the world of captives, the discussions were insightful and a good learning experience for me.”
“A lot of key players in the captive industry were in attendance and the sessions contained some really interesting materials and perspectives.”
“This was a great event! Not only for those that work in the captive space, but also those clients that are thinking about joining or starting their own captive for their company. Great information on a variety of topics (i.e. single parent captives, group captives, domiciles, regulatory discussions, etc.)”
