Tomorrow [Sept 15] is the last day to secure an early bird rate to attend the Bermuda Tech Summit, presented by the Bermuda Business Development Agency [BDA], in partnership with government’s Economic Development Department [EDD] and industry association, NEXT Bermuda.
A spokesperson said, “After two years of being held virtually, we are excited to be holding the fourth annual Bermuda Tech Summit in person at the Hamilton Princess Hotel and Beach Club, from October 26-28.”
David Hart, BDA CEO said, “Bermuda Tech Week is expected to be an extremely busy period here in Bermuda, with the PGA Tour’s Butterfield Bermuda Championship also taking place from October 27-30. Hotel spaces are very limited, so we strongly encourage potential Bermuda Tech Summit attendees to book their hotel rooms as soon as possible to secure accommodation, and to register by September 15 to receive the early bird rate.”
The spokesperson said, “Effective 16 September, Bermuda Tech Summit registration will increase from $295 to $395.
“Newly confirmed speakers include Michael Casey, Chief Content Officer, CoinDesk, who will open the summit with a keynote fireside chat with Bermuda’s Premier and Minister of Finance, the Hon.

Mr Hart said, “I am also just so thrilled to announce that SailGP and Clarien have come on board as Bermuda Tech Summit sponsors, joining Hub Culture, Appleby, 24 Exchange, and Blockchain Triangle. Without the generous support of our sponsors, we could not put on this important in-person event highlighting Bermuda’s dynamic tech sector, leadership, and innovation.”
The spokesperson said, “Set against the stunning backdrop of Hamilton Harbour, Bermuda Tech Summit delegates will hear senior policymakers, FinTech-leaders, and international regulators provide thought-provoking content over three half days, with afternoons left free for C-suite networking opportunities and local excursions, such as the PGA golf [for tickets, please visit their website.]
