George Town, Grand Cayman, April 30, 2026 – The Insurance Managers Association of Cayman (IMAC), in collaboration with the Cayman International Reinsurance Companies Association (CIRCA) and the Cayman Islands Insurance Association (CIIA), has announced the launch of the inaugural Cayman NextGen Insurance Forum. The event takes place on May 28, 2026 at the Grand Cayman Marriott Resort from 2:30pm to 6:00pm, and is free to attend.

Designed to introduce young Caymanians to career opportunities within the insurance and reinsurance sectors, this first-of-its-kind forum will bring together students, early-career individuals, and industry professionals for an afternoon of insight, discussion, and meaningful engagement.

The forum targets school leavers, university students, and those beginning their careers who are interested in exploring pathways within one of Cayman’s most established and globally significant industries. The invitation is also open to those looking to explore careers in the insurance and reinsurance industries along with parents and others who help guide any young person’s career aspirations.

Troy Matarazzo, Chair of IMAC’s Talent Development Committee said, “This forum is one of the first initiatives from our newly formed IMAC committee, and represents an important step in connecting the next generation of Caymanians with the opportunities available across Cayman’s insurance industry. By creating direct access to professionals and real career insights, we hope to inspire greater participation and long-term growth across the sector.”

The Cayman Islands is home to a world-leading insurance market, with decades of expertise in captive insurance and a growing reinsurance sector. The Cayman NextGen Insurance Forum aims to build awareness of the wide range of careers available while strengthening the future talent pipeline for the jurisdiction.

“Cayman’s reinsurance sector continues to evolve, creating new and diverse career opportunities for Caymanians,” said Simranjit Singh, CIRCA’s Social and Outreach Committee Chair. “Through this initiative, we’re helping to demystify the industry and connect young people with professionals who can share their experiences and guidance.”

The forum will feature a dynamic and interactive programme, including:

• Industry Introduction: A clear and accessible overview of commercial insurance, captive insurance and reinsurance, and Cayman’s role as a leading global domicile
• Young Professionals Panel & Ask-Me-Anything Session: First-hand insights from professionals currently working in the industry
• Career Insights Hub: Interactive, small-group discussions with industry experts across a range of disciplines, including accounting, underwriting, compliance, and more
