VCIA calls for session proposals ahead of 2026 conference deadline

The organising committee for the 2026 VCIA Conference has issued a reminder that the deadline for submissions for session & discussion group topics is the end of the 10th of October. 

Prospective attendees are being invited to submit a substantive session proposal that goes beyond a basic topic to include methodology, key takeaways, and implementation details

The VCIA said that it welcomes fresh, innovative content, extensively outlined, with engaging creative session formats that emphasize active learning, interaction, and inclusive participation. It seeks diverse, talented, emerging and seasoned voices to share at America’s largest captive insurance event.

Successful submissions should be thorough and address the latest issues facing captive insurance and provide concrete takeaways. Content should include real case studies and relevant, up-to-date data.
