The Captive Review US Awards return with an exciting new location and date!

Since 1999, Captive Review has been a trusted voice for the risk management and captive insurance communities, and we were thrilled to this year be holding the glittering awards ceremony at the Union League Club in Chicago on June 10, 2026.

These awards are designed to honor and celebrate the companies, teams, and individuals who demonstrate excellence, innovation, and impactful contributions across the captive insurance sector. Over the years, Captive Review has evolved into a leading information provider for the industry, with our publication now reaching audiences monthly.

The 2026 awards will be held on June 10, following the Captive Review's USA Conference which takes place June 9-10, in Chicago. Why not attend both events?
