Leading Futurist Jim Carroll To Keynote 2024 VCIA Conference

Jim Carroll, a leading futurist and global trends analyst, will be the keynote speaker for the 39th Annual Vermont Captive Insurance Association (VCIA) Conference. The event will be held from August 12–14 at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Burlington, Vermont. Carroll, known for his insights on industry innovation and disruption, will present "The Future of Insurance."

Mr. Carroll's experience includes presentations at organizations such as The World Bank, NASA, and The Wall Street Journal. His keynote at #VCIA2024 will be tailored specifically to the captive insurance audience, focusing on themes of rapid change and strategic growth. "There is no doubt that in the world of insurance we are seeing relentless fast change, and I will offer a theme of 'think big, act small, and scale fast' as it relates to the captive insurance community at the VCIA Conference," he said.

VCIA CEO Kevin Mead said, "We are thrilled to have Jim Carroll as the 2024 conference keynote speaker. He is the natural choice based on the fundamentals of captive insurance—dealing with uncertainty and emerging and unforeseen risks."

Conference Chair Maigh Wright of Marsh added, "The task force thoroughly vetted keynote candidates, and Jim Carroll was the clear choice. The energy he brings will be palpable to the audience, and they will come away with valuable insights on what the future may hold for managing risk."
