Africa Captive Conference 2026

The inaugural Africa Captive Conference is to take place on 12 November 2026, at the Bryanston Country Club, Johannesburg.

Leading organisations now treat risk financing as a lever for protecting capital, strengthening resilience and creating enterprise value.

The conference explores how captives can help organisations move beyond annual premium negotiations toward integrated strategies that optimise capital, strengthen governance and improve resilience. Each session connects strategic risk, captive structures, governance and implementation into a practical executive journey.

In a statement on LinkedIn Oliver Schofield, founder & chief executive of RISCS CWC, co-founder Lignum Risk Partners and head of captive & alternative risk transfer at Principal Re, said: “For decades, many organisations have approached insurance as an annual purchasing exercise. That conversation is changing. Today’s leading organisations are asking a different question: Can risk financing become a source of competitive advantage?

Schofield said that the conference will explore how captive structures are helping organisations:

• Improve capital efficiency
• Strengthen organisational resilience
• Enhance governance and Board oversight
• Optimise cash flow and capital allocation
• Create long-term enterprise value

“Beyond Insurance: The Africa Captive Conference is a new executive conference designed for CFOs, risk managers, board leaders, insurance brokers and underwriters who are rethinking how risk is financed.”

The Africa Captive Conference has been organised by OLEA Insurance Solutions Africa, RISCS CWC, and the Southern Africa-Canada Chamber of Commerce.

Exclusive media partners are Captive Review and Captive International.
