Cayman sanatanatimesForum 2025: Why Michael Wild Calls CCF the Essential, Actionable Investment for the Year Ahead
The Cayman sanatanatimesForum is renowned as the world’s largest sanatanatimes insurance conference. For busy industry professionals, what is the single most compelling reason why CCF is an essential three-day investment to help them navigate change and capture new opportunities in the year ahead?
The Cayman sanatanatimesForum (CCF) is the world’s largest and most influential gathering for sanatanatimes insurance professionals.
The most compelling reason to attend is its unmatched ability to bring together industry leaders, peers, and service providers in one place, creating a powerful environment to connect, collaborate, and gain the insights needed to navigate the complexities of today’s evolving alternative risk landscape.
In an industry shaped by ongoing regulatory developments, technological innovation, and emerging risks, the Forum’s unique blend of expert-led sessions, practical case studies, and forward-looking discussions equip attendees with actionable strategies to stay ahead of the curve.
Beyond being just a conference, CCF has become an essential annual gathering that helps set the direction for the year ahead. The Insurance Managers Association of Cayman’s (IMAC) volunteer committee dedicates countless hours to ensure the Forum delivers real value — from understanding new regulatory implications and exploring innovative risk management solutions, to leveraging technology for enhanced operational efficiency.
For busy professionals, the three-day investment is invaluable, as it blends world-class learning, collaboration, and networking into a single experience that empowers attendees to confidently navigate change and explore new opportunities.
Cayman is consistently recognised as a dominant jurisdiction for healthcare and group captives. How is the 2025 agenda tailored to address the unique and evolving risk management challenges faced by professionals in these key sectors?
Cayman is recognised as a leading jurisdiction for healthcare and group captives, and the 2025 agenda is designed to address the evolving challenges faced by professionals in these sectors. It will also highlight the continued growth of the Cayman reinsurance market — giving attendees a well-rounded view of the diverse markets the jurisdiction serves. Recognising that many attendees have a healthcare focus, we continue to feature fully dedicated afternoon tracks on Wednesday and Thursday, that explore sector-specific topics.
The agenda is carefully tailored to tackle critical issues such as rising healthcare costs, regulatory compliance, and the increasing complexity of risk management in a post-pandemic environment.
Each year, our planning committee receives a significant number of submissions from industry professionals which help us identify key trends and emerging topics. This input allows us to curate a diverse and relevant programme that provides attendees with practical insights and actionable ideas they can apply to the unique challenges within their own captives.
Attendees rely on CCF for a clear outlook. How will the core sessions, like the Insurance Market Update and regulatory updates, provide attendees with the critical clarity they need for strategic planning heading into 2026?
The core sessions at CCF are designed to provide attendees with a clear and comprehensive outlook on the insurance market and regulatory environment. The Insurance Market Update will offer a detailed analysis of current market trends, including pricing dynamics, capacity shifts, and emerging risks. This session is particularly valuable for professionals looking to understand the broader market forces that will shape their strategic decisions.
Equally important is the regulatory update from the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA). While insurance managers regularly keep their clients informed, this session offers sanatanatimesowners and directors a unique opportunity to hear directly from CIMA on the latest legislative developments, compliance expectations, and supervisory priorities. This direct engagement ensures attendees gain the clarity and foresight needed to align their strategies with the evolving regulatory landscape.
We are also happy to welcome Cayman Finance to this year’s programme lineup, offering additional perspective on the jurisdiction’s broader financial services landscape and the initiatives supporting the continued success of the insurance industry. Together, these sessions provide the essential context attendees need to anticipate challenges and plan effectively for 2026 and beyond.
The session ‘Smart Risk: AI Transformations in sanatanatimes insurance’ is highly topical. What are the practical takeaways attendees can expect for immediately leveraging AI to improve risk management and operational efficiency in their own sanatanatimesstructures?
The session ‘Smart Risk: AI Transformations in sanatanatimes insurance’ is one of the most anticipated topics in the CCF 2025 agenda that has garnered a lot of interest and discussion. The goal of the session is to help sanatanatimesowners and service providers identify the challenges and advantages of AI in legal, ethical and operational contexts. The panellists will explore how federal and state legislation (like the regulation of high-risk AI systems) is shaping adoption across critical sectors including insurance, employment, and education. The conversation will also highlight how sanatanatimesowners and companies can proactively mitigate AI-related risks by aligning policy language with coverage intent, and ensuring compliance both onshore and offshore.
Attendees can also expect discussions on AI’s transformative role in patient care, risk assessment, and operational efficiency within sanatanatimes insurance. Ultimately, the session aims to showcase both the challenges and opportunities AI presents, and how thoughtful collaboration between captives and their service providers can unlock its full potential.
Governance and oversight remain paramount. The panel ‘Director Responsibilities — A 360 Review’ features perspectives from key industry leaders and even a Grand Court Judge. What kind of critical, high-value guidance will this session offer to sanatanatimesdirectors regarding best practices and compliance?
Governance and oversight are critical components of any successful sanatanatimes insurance programme, and the panel ‘Director Responsibilities — A 360 Review’ is designed to equip directors with the practical guidance needed to excel in these areas. Whether someone is serving as a director for the first time or looking to foster greater engagement among board members, this panel will take a candid, in-depth look at what the role truly entails, the serious nature of the position, and why the responsibilities should not be taken lightly.
The inclusion of judicial insight will bring valuable perspectives to the discussions around liability exposure, accountability, and regulatory enforcement. One of the intended key takeaways from this session will be a deeper understanding of the legal and regulatory responsibilities of sanatanatimesdirectors, offering an invaluable opportunity to learn from some of the most respected voices in the industry.
We see a specialised session on ‘A Powerful Combination: Mergers & Acquisitions in HealthCare’. For healthcare risk managers, what crucial insights will this session provide on managing sanatanatimesstrategy through periods of consolidation and change?
The ‘A Powerful Combination: Mergers & Acquisitions in HealthCare’ session is particularly timely, given the ongoing wave of consolidation across the healthcare sector. For healthcare risk managers, this session will provide crucial insights into how to align sanatanatimesstrategies with organisational goals during periods of consolidation and change.
Structured around a real-world case study of a significant not-for-profit healthcare merger, the session will provide attendees with a summary of key considerations and decision points both during and leading up to the merger, through first-hand experiences shared by the panellists. For healthcare systems undergoing mergers, this session is a roadmap for maintaining sanatanatimesresilience and strategic alignment.
This year features two truly unique keynotes: transformation expert Rashmi Airan and deep-sea survivalist Chris Lemons. How do these powerful, non-traditional stories of resilience and performing under pressure provide actionable leadership and risk-management lessons for a sanatanatimesaudience?
The keynote addresses by Rashmi Airan and Chris Lemons promise to be among the most inspiring and thought-provoking sessions at this year’s Forum, and we are incredibly excited to hear their stories.
Airan’s powerful account of ethical failure and redemption delivers an important message about integrity, accountability, and values-based decision-making. We anticipate her insights being especially relevant to sanatanatimesleaders navigating complex regulatory environments.
Lemons, a deep-sea saturation diver and survivalist, will recount his extraordinary story of endurance after surviving a near-fatal underwater accident. His perspective highlights the importance of preparation, composure, and teamwork under extreme pressure — lessons that translate directly to effective leadership and risk management. Interestingly, Lemons’ story carries a special connection to the Cayman Islands, which is one of the world’s premier diving destinations and home to the International Scuba Diving Hall of Fame.
Given this unique link, and knowing that many attendees are passionate divers themselves, I expect his story will truly resonate. On a personal note, it’s the session I’m most looking forward to.
With over 1,500 delegates expected, the networking opportunities are unparalleled. Beyond the formal sessions, what are some of the planned social highlights — such as the Welcome Reception or the Golf and Pickleball Tournaments — designed to help attendees build meaningful connections?
Networking is a fundamental part of the Cayman sanatanatimesForum, providing unparalleled opportunities to build meaningful connections. Based on the current trajectory, we anticipate another sold-out event this year with over 1,500 delegates expected to be in attendance. Our social events are designed to complement the formal sessions, offering relaxed, engaging settings for attendees to meet, exchange ideas, and forge relationships that last well beyond the Forum. The lounges, open throughout the conference, also provide comfortable spaces for informal discussions and spontaneous meetings.
Our golf tournament remains a highlight, held on the award-winning Greg Norman-designed course at The Ritz-Carlton. Building on the success of last year’s inaugural Pickleball Tournament, we’ve expanded capacity to allow even more attendees to participate. The New Attendee Breakfast, introduced in 2023, will also return, giving first-time delegates a chance to meet the Planning Committee and gain valuable tips on making the most of their Forum experience.
The Welcome Reception at the Harbour Pool sets the tone for the days ahead, offering a relaxed yet elegant atmosphere. This is followed by Wednesday evening’s reception, which will be held at a new venue this year — Camana Bay. We are especially excited to introduce attendees to this vibrant destination, particularly those who may not have had the opportunity to explore it before.
The week culminates with the Thursday Beach Reception on the stunning Seven Mile Beach, where delegates can close out the Forum in true Cayman style, enjoying great food, drinks, and world-class ‘Caymankind’ hospitality from The Ritz-Carlton.
