Leading the way in risk financing: Airmic Guernsey Conference 2025
Registrations open!
Guernsey, 22–23 September 2025: Get ready for two days of world-class speakers, strategic insight and networking as Airmic, together with Guernsey Finance and the Guernsey International Insurance Association (GIIA), hosts the Airmic Guernsey Conference 2025, themed “Leading the way in international risk financing”.
This conference is designed for risk managers, captive insurance directors, board members, finance directors, insurers and captive service providers who want to explore the evolving world of captives and alternative risk transfer in a fast-changing and complex global risk landscape.
Captives: a pivotal moment
The conference will take place during a pivotal and exciting moment for captives, with captive programmes expanding globally and continuing to evolve from an alternative to a mainstream solution.
According to Airmic’s recent captives survey, nearly half of captive-owning members now adopt a “captive first” strategy – making captives their primary tool to manage group risks. Captives are no longer niche but central to long‑term risk financing planning. Meanwhile, Guernsey continues to be one of the most popular captive domiciles, supported by a mature infrastructure and global connectivity.
Packed programme highlights
Hosted at the St Pierre Park Hotel in St Peter Port, the conference opens with welcome remarks from Airmic CEO Julia Graham and Guernsey Finance CEO Rupert Pleasant on Monday morning, followed by a keynote address by Dr Jo Salter MBE, former Royal Air Force fast jet pilot and leadership expert, offering a dynamic perspective on leadership and resilience in a technology‑driven world.
After lunch, a plenary panel entitled “Captives in the mainstream” features senior figures including Caroline Wagstaff, CEO of the London Market Group; Paul Sykes, managing director, Aon Insurance Manager (Guernsey); and Caroline Bradley, co-director of the Authorisations and Innovation Division, Guernsey Financial Services Commission, discussing how captives are becoming standard risk financing vehicles
Over the two days, there will also be breakout sessions covering a range of topics, including climate risk, AI in the workplace, captive case studies, geopolitics, employee benefits and cyber risk.
