2026 Alberta Captive Conference
Building Understanding. Empowering Possibility.
April 23, 2026 | Calgary Marriott Downtown
The third annual Alberta Captive Conference (ACC), proudly hosted by the Captive Insurance Managers Association of Alberta (CIMAA), returns in 2026 as the province’s leading educational event dedicated to advancing awareness and understanding of captive insurance.
With Alberta’s captive legislation now firmly established, this year’s conference is designed for those new to the concept of captives, those who have established a captive and are looking to optimize it, and those that support or service the captive insurance industry.
Through a series of highly relevant, well-researched educational sessions, attendees will gain a clear understanding of what captives are, how they operate, and the strategic advantages they can offer within Alberta’s growing risk management landscape.
