2 2015 Where captive business happens! CICA s International Conference is where captive business happens. Our domicile neutral status creates an engaging environment for nearly 600 captive representatives and service providers from around the world to gather for insightful and productive education and networking opportunities. Historically I have generated client business through attending the CICA conference. I ve engaged in relationships with service providers there and have later given the service providers additional business from CICA as well.
