Presented by members of Brown & Brown's captive practice, recognized as Captive Manager of the Year at the 2026 Captive Review US Awards for the third consecutive year, this session examines the trends reshaping the captive landscape and the strategic considerations risk managers should be evaluating today.
As organizations face an increasingly complex risk landscape, captive insurance companies are evolving beyond traditional risk financing structures and becoming strategic tools for managing emerging exposures. This session will explore the future of captives and the key trends risk managers should be evaluating now, including artificial intelligence and technology risks, cyber exposures, climate-related challenges, regulatory developments, alternative capital solutions, and the growing role of data and analytics.
Attendees will gain practical insights into how organizations are leveraging captive strategies to address emerging risks, improve resilience, and create greater flexibility within their overall risk management programs. Through real-world perspectives and industry observations, our panel of captive and alternative risk specialists will discuss what risk managers should be thinking about today to position their organizations for the future.
Note: All downloads and related contact information will be accessible to the webinar sponsor.
