PROGRAM AGENDA

The SIIA Spring Forum is expected to be the largest gathering of senior-level self-insurance industry professionals for the first half of 2024, representing TPAs, stop-loss insurance carriers, captive managers, brokers/consultants and key service providers.

This year’s educational program features a collection of “executive summary” formatted sessions that will distil and deliver key information pulled from SIIA’s topic-specific forums scheduled in 2024 – Healthcare Price Transparency, Artificial Intelligence, Corporate Growth and Cell & Gene Therapy.
