10:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. | Preparing for the Next Era of Captive Insurance | ||||||
It seems like captives have been around forever, but we may be entering an important new area for these important risk management vehicles with at least some of these developments having international implications. Our expert panel will dive into this subject with expected discussion topics to include: captive solutions for the “gig” economy, cyber captives, cell captives, property captives and the potential demise of “offshore” domiciles.

11:30 a.m. - 12:15 p.m. | Employee Assistance Plans – The International Evolution | ||||||
Employee assistance plans, commonly known as EAPs, have evolved from the original US models to very distinct applications in the EU and UK/Ireland. The newest trend is called “Implied Support Theory” where safety managers at companies are taking the lead for a more holistic, inclusive solution to “prove” the effectiveness of EAPs – and being viewed as a critical component of a comprehensive self-funded risk management approach. This session will cover US EAP partnerships with international EAPs, and also focus on what is fresh and new in the UK/Ireland market. SPEAKERS: Dani Kimlinger, PhD

2:30 p.m. - 3:15 p.m. | Perspectives from Lloyd’s - New Ways to Deliver Value for the US, UK, and Ireland Insurance Marketplace | ||||||
For nearly 350 years, Lloyd’s grew into the world’s leading market for specialist insurance with a rich and colorful history. We have seen a sharp rise in new risks from COVID and recent super-charged geopolitics that has led Lloyd’s to rethink their approach. How is Lloyd’s addressing the current marketplace and security issues? Did you know that over 50% of Lloyd’s business originates from the US? How is Lloyd’s transitioning to a paperless e-trading environment when traditionally “paper slips” and in-person negotiations were the cultural norm? Also, what is the new “Lloyd’s Lab” that uniquely incubates and accelerates start-up businesses? MODERATOR

3:30 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. | International Healthcare Macro Trends and Tactics | ||||||
As populations age and the world deals with the fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic, access to quality, cost-effective healthcare is as big a challenge as ever for national health systems as well as private self-funded plans. What are the “hot button” issues that can make a positive impact across the continuum of international healthcare delivery? What are tactical ways to deliver care for specialty and rare diseases, including cell + gene therapies, infusion therapy, obesity, diabetes, and chronic care management? What is the role of telemedicine and AI to better enable the healthcare journey and education? The unique drivers of the dramatic growth in US medical stop-loss and what comes next will also be presented and debated. MODERATOR:
