Artemis ILS NYC 2017

Artemis' first event in New York was very well attended, selling out two weeks in advance of the event. Over 215 people attended the ILS NYC 2017 conference and by the day of the event we had a waiting list of nearly 90 people who we could not fit in (don't worry, the venue will be larger for 2018).

Attendees came from across the ILS and reinsurance market spectrum, as well as New York investors, asset managers, bankers and funds, and a number of InsurTech start-ups, venture investors and other categories.

The overwhelming finding of the day was that ILS and the capital market's are ready to do more to support global risk transfer, re/insurance and resilience, with technology set to drive further penetration of efficient capital into risk markets.

About Artemis ILS NYC 2017

February 3rd 2017, 08:00 – 19:00 (including networking drinks reception)

As Artemis grows its events portfolio, we wanted to bring an event to New York for a discerning audience of insurance-linked securities (ILS), reinsurance and capital markets experts.

As the ILS asset class grows and looks to expand, now seems an opportune time to reflect on the development of this important risk market, understand how we’ve got to where we are today, identify the next major opportunities and celebrate the expansion of the asset class into the deepest corners of risk transfer and investments.

We're trying to create the kind of conference that we would want to attend ourselves, mixing great speakers, insightful content, a forward-thinking outlook with quality networking.

The venue for Artemis ILS NYC 2017 is a purpose built event space named Convene, on West 46th Street. Venue details.

For all enquiries regarding sponsorship opportunities please contact events@artemis.bm.

Hear from industry thought-leaders and their guests, on topics covering the ILS markets past and present, as well as what will drive its future.

  • Past, present, future of ILS
  • How ILS can aid global resilience
  • How ILS can harness Insurtech
  • The niches of the ILS market
  • Future ILS market business models

Artemis ILS NYC 2017 will look to inspire, inform, connect the dots, spark ideas, facilitate networking and offer experienced executives a chance to reflect on what has gone well and what challenges or opportunities lie ahead in mobilizing the capital markets to invest in insurance risk.

This is a carefully curated event, designed to attract those interested in advanced concepts related to ILS and risk transfer, or those who recognize the unique opportunity to network with ILS stalwarts and thought-leaders.

Meet senior executives from (re)insurance companies, catastrophe bond & ILS fund managers, pension investors, hedge funds, service providers, technology start-ups, investment bankers and more.
