On February 9th 2024 we returned to New York City for our eighth ILS NYC conference.

For 2024, our theme will focus on growing the market in the higher return environment and identifying new opportunities to capitalise on the demand for reinsurance capital, for the insurance-linked securities (ILS) market and its investors.
Significant work has been undertaken to improve the insurance-linked securities (ILS) product set, in the current hardened reinsurance marketplace.
But demand for efficient reinsurance risk capital remains high and shows signs of increasing, presenting opportunities for the ILS market to expand while delivering complementary protection to cedants and sponsors, as well as an attractive return to investors through this diversifying alternative asset class.
As the ILS market strives to deliver sustainable protection and returns, the industry will gather again at Artemis ILS NYC 2024 following a very strong year of returns, to discuss issues of note and network with the assembled market experts and constituents.
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.
Expect a full-day of thoughtful and thought-provoking discussions on the future of the insurance-linked securities (ILS) marketplace.
