View some photos from the day.
September 5th 2023:
08:00 – 19:00 (including networking drinks reception). Venue details.
Following on from our successful first London catastrophe bond and insurance-linked securities (ILS) conference held a year ago, Artemis returned to host a full day event of inspiring and educational talks and discussions, as well as valuable networking opportunities with industry leaders of the ILS market.
A year ago, our attendees heard a range of catastrophe bond focused sessions through the first half of the day, moving to a more reinsurance focused theme in the latter segment.
For 2023, our Artemis London conference will focus on market forces, those driving issuance, as well as those driving investor sentiment and interest, as the ILS asset class returns to growth after a number of more challenging years. The conference will also cover topics from cyber cat bonds, through parametric triggers, and feature keynotes from senior leaders of the industry.
As we did a year ago, the latter session of the day will set the tone for ILS market discussions at the 2023 Monte Carlo Reinsurance Rendez-vous event, which begins a few days after this Artemis London conference. So expect discussions on the outlook for collateralised reinsurance and a focus on what ILS fund managers will be seeking from their renewal engagements this year.
Overall, expect forward-looking discussions between insurance-linked securities (ILS) industry experts, delivering the quality of content you've learned to anticipate from us at Artemis.
With our events, we try to create the kind of conference that we would want to attend ourselves, mixing great speakers, insightful content, a forward-thinking outlook and quality networking.
