BCC 2025 to showcase captive innovation and future-facing strategies
With just one week to go until the 2025 Bermuda Captive Conference (BCC), anticipation is building for what promises to be one of the industry’s most dynamic gatherings in years, as the conference returns to its summer programming window, according to the conference’s organisers.
Taking place across June 9–11, 2025, at the Hamilton Princess Hotel & Beach Club, this year’s conference will convene global leaders from across the captive insurance sector under the theme Re-Imagining Risk: The Next Frontier.
The BCC’s organisers said that as a jurisdictional leader in captive insurance, Bermuda continues to pioneer innovative risk management solutions, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Bermuda’s robust regulatory framework, deep expertise, and forward-thinking strategies are shaping the next frontier of risk, reinforcing its unique position at the forefront of the captive insurance industry.
“Reimagining Risk reflects the mindset shift we’re seeing across the entire risk landscape,” says Seádna Kirwan, Conference Chair. “From climate volatility to cyber vulnerabilities, captives are being leveraged in more agile and strategic ways than ever before. This year’s agenda is forward-looking but grounded in real-world solutions that our industry is implementing today.”
Spanning three days, the 2025 programme features more than 65 expert speakers across 15 sessions, covering geopolitical shifts, climate resilience, portfolio optimisation, regulatory changes, and more.
The BCC said that technology is transforming insurance at every level and captives are well positioned to be at the forefront. AI is already improving underwriting, claims triage, and risk analytics, which directly enhances the value proposition of a captive. Parametric solutions are also becoming more accessible and precise, especially in underinsured areas like climate or business interruption where traditional triggers fall short. At this year’s conference, speakers will dig into how these tools are not just efficiencies, but enablers. They allow captives to respond to protection gaps that commercial markets either can’t or won’t cover, and they create new ways to structure, measure, and price risk. Attendees will hear from innovators who are implementing these technologies right now, bringing real case studies to the conversation.
Bermuda’s regulatory environment remains one of the jurisdiction’s greatest strengths: adaptive, transparent, and built with the nuances of the captive model in mind. From recent refinements around solvency requirements and economic substance to the evolution of digital compliance, the conference will provide critical updates and expert commentary from regulators, legal professionals, and international market participants. “We’re taking a global view,” says Kirwan. “It’s about understanding how jurisdictions are adapting and how Bermuda continues to lead with clarity and credibility in this space.”
Returning to its June schedule has also enabled the conference to reconnect with the rhythm of the Bermuda calendar and global travel cycle. For 2025, the agenda has expanded back to three days, with Monday afternoon sessions reintroduced and a closed-door Captive Owners Lunch added to provide a private, peer-to-peer forum for meaningful exchange. The networking framework has also been significantly enhanced, with longer breakfasts, extended lunch sessions, and 45-minute breaks between panels, all designed to foster deeper conversations and relationship-building throughout the event.
This year also marks the launch of a new internship programme, developed in partnership with KPMG in Bermuda and the Bermuda Captive Network. The initiative will be formally announced during the conference and is designed to nurture local talent and create meaningful pathways into the island’s thriving captive insurance sector. “This is about investing in Bermuda’s future,” says Kirwan. “It’s a tangible commitment to developing the next generation of professionals who will drive this industry forward.”
