"Our theme, 'Navigating Captive Horizons,' reflects the dynamic and resilient nature of Bermuda's captive sector. We look forward to fostering collaboration and equipping our attendees with the tools and insights needed to navigate the complexities of the captive landscape.
“In exciting news for our attendees, the Bermuda Captive Conference will return to its traditional June schedule in 2025, hosted at the prestigious Hamilton Princess. This change is eagerly anticipated by both local and overseas captive owners, as well as industry professionals, who have long valued the timing and venue for fostering deeper connections and taking advantage of Bermuda’s close-knit business community. The June timing aligns much better with the industry's annual planning cycles, making it an ideal opportunity for attendees to gain insights and network at a crucial time in the business calendar."
