Artemis London 2025

Artemis held its fourth insurance-linked securities (ILS) conference in the City of London on September 2nd 2025.

In 2025 we returned to London again to host a full-day of detailed discussions on catastrophe bonds and the wider insurance-linked securities (ILS) market, while also exploring ILS market priorities for the reinsurance renewal discussions at the end of the year.

Over 220 attendees enjoyed deep and insightful discussions on stage, as well as valuable networking with industry experts, re/insurance market leaders and investors.

There was plenty of time for valuable networking too, with long breaks and a cocktail reception at the end of the conference.

We are now beginning to publish videos of each of the sessions from the Artemis London 2025 conference. Scroll down to the agenda to see videos that are available now.

View the agenda from the day.

Artemis London 2025 will feature a full day event of inspiring and educational talks and discussions, as well as valuable networking opportunities with industry leaders of the ILS market.

As with all Artemis London conferences, there will be a core focus on catastrophe bond and insurance-linked securities investment opportunities and market conditions through most of the day, moving to a more reinsurance focused theme in the latter segment to set the agenda for upcoming renewal discussions for the ILS market.
