Convergence 2021 To Be Held On October 6
Now in its ninth year, ILS Bermuda’s annual Convergence event is scheduled for October 6, 2021 at the Hamilton Princess. Designed as a hyrbid experience, this will combine virtual sessions and limited live access to in-person panels, speakers, and networking opportunities.
“In its new mixed digital and live format, Convergence 2021 will continue its examination of developments and trends in the alternative [re]insurance industry, capital markets and ILS sectors. Convergence 2021 will maintain the tradition of bringing together industry leaders for information sharing and networking while allowing participants to observe, contribute and interact with the live event,” a spokesperson said.
“Bermuda maintains a significant role in the global market as a leader in the ILS space. Events like Convergence 2021 help to position Bermuda as a world-class ILS jurisdiction, facilitating growth, innovation and sophistication in the global risk transfer market.
“The ILS Bermuda committee is producing thought-provoking content, providing industry leaders with knowledge, skills and perspective on the complicated and ever-evolving landscape in these unprecedented times.
“In a continued period where change remains the only constant, Bermuda remains resilient and agile in responding to the needs of the global risk market.”
Jo Stanton, Head of Finance, Tangency Capital and Vice-Chair of ILS Bermuda Ltd said: “The ILS asset class has remained relatively stable and uncorrelated to the broader financial market. As we continue to navigate the economic and social upheaval in the wake of Covid-19, opportunities have emerged capacity increases in a hardening market environment.
“We look forward to hosting Convergence 2021 in a spacious setting with smaller in-person numbers and a broad range of virtual participants, and to being fully reconnected with our regular registrants, sponsors and stakeholders in Bermuda for our 10thAnniversary in 2022.”
“Registration for the Convergence event will be launched in the coming weeks. The agenda will continue to incorporate virtual and live networking, educational sessions, and keynote speaker.
