PROGRAM OVERVIEW

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 to distill and deliver essential information pulled from SIIA’s topic-specific forums scheduled in 2024 – Healthcare Price Transparency, Artificial Intelligence, Corporate Growth, and Cell & Gene Therapy.   

The educational program will be combined with multiple networking functions, including one event specifically for younger attendees.  Finally, companies will be able to showcase their products and services by participating in a table-top exhibitor program.
