VCIA 2021 Virtual Conference | Vermont Captive Insurance Association (VCIA) | 10 August 2021 | Virtual

Excellent Reasons to Attend the VCIA 2021 Annual Conference:

1. Earn CPE/ VT CLE/ CRE credits. Because all sessions will be readily accessible, attendees can gain more professional education credits than at an in-person event. CPE, VT CLE and CRE credits are available to those who participate in the virtual conference webcasts.

2. High quality captive insurance education, with panelists who are captive owners from some of the most prestigious organizations in the world. Learn from the best and brightest.

3. Access to hundreds of captive professionals. By eliminating the time, expense and potential health risks associated with travel, going virtual makes the conference more accessible to a larger number of people. The lack of space constraints also means the conference can handle increased interest.

4. Enhanced networking opportunities. Building on the success of last year's event, we will be offering more ways for small groups to connect, and one-on-one meetings. Video chat rooms, Ignite Sessions, Solution Labs and more will enable captive owners and service providers to have meaningful meetings.

5. Coverage of emerging risks. Educational sessions will continue to discuss up to the minute emerging and current risks, and how captive programs relate to those risks.

6. Content for newcomers and veterans alike. VCIA is known for its offerings for those newer to the industry, as well as those who've been coming to our event for years. That balance will be maintained and enhanced through the virtual format. With special added features that are unique to the online experience! So mu
