Artemis ILS NYC 2020

Over 370 people attended ILS NYC 2020, our fourth annual insurance-linked securities (ILS) conference in New York and were treated to insightful discussions on the state of the insurance-linked securities (ILS) market from experts in their fields.

ILS NYC 2020 - "Building Back Stronger"

After the elevated period of losses experienced in recent years, the focus shifts to how to build an increasingly robust, institutional quality ILS asset class. Sessions will discuss: creating more resilient ILS operational structures; innovating towards more responsive risk transfer; creating greater diversity within ILS; and how ILS can help to build a better world in terms of climate risk transfer, resilience and the ESG qualities of ILS.

More than 375 attendees registered for ILS NYC 2020 and the conference heard from a range of expert speakers, while benefiting from quality networking opportunities.
